Mets pitchers Bobby Parnell and Vic Black began their rehab assignments Tuesday for Class-A Port St. Lucie to work back from the disabled list, reports ESPN.com.
Parnell worked one scoreless inning, allowing two hits against Brevard County. He touched 93 and 95 mph on his fastball in the inning. Black gave up a solo home run and walked two batters in his inning of work. Both pitchers need to throw on consecutive days before the team will activate them from the disabled list.
