Today they called him over to major-league camp to throw a bullpen session in front of pitching coach Jeremy Hefner and other staff.
Lefthander Brooks Raley (left hamstring strain) said he threw a bullpen session yesterday and is aiming to get into at least one Grapefruit League game this week. He said he should be good for Opening Day.

Here is a full list of the moves. Arcia is now in lineup to be the starting shortstop. Top backup outfield candidates are still Kevin Pillar and Hilliard. Nick Anderson could be a key piece at some point this year. But with two options left, he can go down to create a pen spot https://t.co/72nBaii1BO

1965 | In an exhibition game, Gary Kroll and Gordie Richardson combine to keep Pittsburgh hitless for nine innings in the Mets' 6-0 win in St. Petersburg. The first no-hitter thrown during the regular season in franchise history won't occur until 2012 when Johan Santana accomplishes the feat against St. Louis. |
1973 | In an exhibition game against the Mets, Fritz Peterson appears in his first game since going public about swapping families with Yankee teammate Mike Kekich. Many of the 4,320 fans at Al Lang Field in St. Petersburg roundly boo the 31 year-old southpaw, but he goes the first five innings, picking up the win in the Bronx Bombers' 6-2 victory over their crosstown rivals. |
David Wright is named the Mets captain, joining John Franco, Keith Hernandez, and Gary Carter as the fourth player to be honored by the franchise. Like Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter and White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, the two other current major leaguers to have the title with their club, the 30 year-old third baseman will not wear a "C" on his uniform.3/21/2013 David Wright is named the fourth captain in franchise history. He joins Gary Carter, Keith Hernandez and John Franco as the only players to receive this honor. pic.twitter.com/sqRdsVI2R9
