Mets pitcher Vic Black was able to throw a bullpen session on Monday as a part of his rehab from a shoulder and neck injury, according to ESPN.com.

Its the first time he's been able to throw a bullpen session since suffering a herniated disk in his neck. Black is expected to throw a second bullpen session on Thursday. He posted a 2-3 record with a 2.60 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings of work in 2014.
