PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., March 13 (UPI) -- Injured New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana Sunday denied a report that his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery has hit a roadblock.
Santana refuted the report in The (Bergen, N.J.) Record citing an unnamed source claiming the Mets were preparing to rule their ace hurler out for the year due to slow progress in his comeback from September surgery on his throwing shoulder.
"Time will tell once I get on the mound," Santana told The New York Times at the Mets' spring training home of Port St. Lucie, Fla., without specifying when he hoped to return.
Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson said last month he expected Santana to return to the rotation in late June or July. But the Record's source indicated the lefty hasn't "been fluid" in recent workouts.
Santana told reporters last week he was feeling good and was working out on his own at Port St. Lucie.
