A.J. Minter continues to progress well on his road back to the Mets’ bullpen.

Minter is expected to rejoin Syracuse and make his next rehab appearance on Friday.
Mendoza said that the plan is for him to throw on Sunday as well, working twice in three days for the second time, and then the team will see how he’s feeling from there.
The 32-year-old hasn’t pitched in a big-league game since suffering a season-ending lat injury during a game against the Nationals last April.
