Mets pitcher Vic Black is "unlikely" to avoid a season-opening stint on the disabled list, according general manager Sandy Alderson per ESPN New York.
Black is still battling to get back on the field after a shoulder suffered in the middle of March and threw off a mound for the first time Saturday. He posted a 2-3 record with a 2.60 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings in 2014.
