Wheeler (elbow) has returned to High-A Port St. Lucie and will be evaluated Monday to determine if he is ready to begin playing catch, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.
It's a step in the right direction for Wheeler, who recently underwent a procedure to remove an undissolved stitch from his throwing elbow. Although the setback has delayed his 2016 debut, the Mets remain optimistic that the right-hander is still on track for a return just after the All-Star break.
