Duda (back) is scheduled to begin baseball activity in Florida next week, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has been on the DL since May 23 with a stress fracture in his lower back. It sounds like he will be out at least through July, as this is not a rehab assignment, simply some baseball activities. In the meantime, James Loney will continue to get the bulk of the starts at first base for the Mets.
