Mets' Bryce Montes de Oca: Begins throwing program

Montes de Oca (elbow) has begun a throwing program, Metsmerized Online reports.

Montes de Oca is nearly seven months removed from Tommy John surgery and is finally testing out his rebuilt elbow with some catch at the Mets' spring training complex in Florida. The big reliever will be sidelined until around midseason next year.
