Mets' Sam Coonrod: Rehab moves to Triple-A

Coonrod (lat) had his rehab assignment shifted Thursday to Triple-A Syracuse, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Coonrod is moving right along on his minor-league rehab assignment after tallying six strikeouts over four scoreless innings with Single-A St. Lucie. The 30-year-old right-hander has been sidelined all season due to a lat strain, but he looks poised to join the Mets' bullpen as early as next week.
