Familia (shoulder) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment in the near future, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Familia has been on the shelf since June 18 with a Bennet lesion in his right shoulder, but he's feeling better and nearing a return to game action. While the right-hander spent time on the injured list earlier in the season due to the same issue, he said he's not considering surgery at this point, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Familia (shoulder) will not undergo an MRI, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Familia spent time on the injured list earlier in the season due to the same issue (a Bennett lesion), so the Mets don't believe another MRI is necessary. The reliever will rest and do arm exercises until he's cleared to resume throwing.

Familia was placed on the 10-day injured list with a Bennett lesion in his right shoulder Tuesday, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear how much time Familia is expected to miss. The injury perhaps explains why he allowed seven runs while recording just four outs over his last two outings, though he's been poor all season, with his ERA sitting at 5.81 even before those two rough appearances.

Familia struck out both batters he faced to record his seventh hold of the season in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

After Zack Wheeler ran out of gas in the eighth inning and put runners on first and second with one out in a 4-3 game, Familia came in and fanned Dawel Lugo and Nick Castellanos on nine pitches to end the threat. The right-hander's numbers on the year aren't pretty, largely as a result of a 6.5 BB/9, but since coming off the IL in mid-May he's been more effective with a 4.26 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB through 6.1 innings.

Familia (shoulder) struck out one in a perfect eighth inning Wednesday in the Mets' 5-1 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets brought Familia back from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener, but he wasn't summoned from the bullpen until a low-leverage opportunity surfaced Wednesday. Familia skirted any trouble in his first appearance back from the IL, but he may need to string together a few quality showings in a row before the Mets reinstall him as the top setup man for closer Edwin Diaz.

The Mets plan to activate Familia (shoulder) ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

New York was planning to reinstate Familia on Sunday, but that was scrapped after the Mets' game against the Marlins was postponed due to inclement weather. Familia thus shouldn't face any restrictions while picking up a couple extra days of rest before returning to the big leagues, though Mike Mazzeo of Yahoo Sports notes that the right-hander won't immediately reclaim his normal setup role.

Familia (shoulder) said he expects the Mets to activate him from the injured list prior to Sunday's game, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending a week or so rehabbing in Port St. Lucie, Familia is now back in New York and said that he's feeling "back to normal." It sounds like Familia will return after missing just one more than the minimum 10 days required by his IL stint, but it would not be a surprise if the Mets eased him back in with a couple lower-leverage appearances before returning Familia to setup duty.

Familia (shoulder) traveled to Port. St. Lucie to rehab, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Familia landed on the injured list earlier in the week with a sore shoulder, but the fact that he's already ready to begin rehabbing suggests his stay on the shelf may not be an extended one. The veteran reliever will be eligible to return May 11, and the hope is that he'll be ready to return at that time or shortly after.

Familia was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a sore shoulder, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Familia has allowed four runs over his last three appearances, potentially due to his shoulder issues. He received an injection Wednesday and will be out for at least 10 days, though the Mets have yet to specify a target return date. Ryan O'Rourke was recalled in a corresponding move.

Familia blew the save in Tuesday's win over the Reds by allowing two runs on four hits over 1.2 innings. He struck out three and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

Familia was called upon for the six-out save with Edwin Diaz receiving the night off, but was unable to maintain the 3-1 lead. Familia has now blown both his save opportunities this season and owns an unsightly 6.28 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 15:13 K:BB through 14.1 innings.
