Szapucki (elbow) gave up two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out four over three innings in his season debut last Tuesday for Triple-A Syracuse.
Szapucki was shut down in July of last season after undergoing ulnar transposition surgery in his left elbow, but he received a clean bill of health heading into spring training. The 25-year-old lefty retains a spot on the Mets' 40-man roster, but he likely doesn't rank high on the list for a potential promotion into the big-league rotation.
