After experiencing soreness in his shoulder after throwing off a flat surface Tuesday, the Mets decided to give reliever Vic Black a few days off from his rehab, per the Daily News. 

Black has been experiencing weakness in his shoulder, but an MRI revealed no structural damage. Black said he thinks he'll be able to resume throwing after his anti-inflammatory medicines are completed.

"Everything's good, though. They’re just wanting to make sure I run the course with the meds before I do," said Black, who has not pitched in a game since March 9.
