Edgin was scheduled to begin his rehab assignment at High-A St. Lucie on Sunday, ESPN.com's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edgin, who is recovering from March 2015 Tommy John surgery, will likely face a limited pitch count in his first appearance with St. Lucie. The reliever is expected to climb to several different levels of the farm system over the next couple of weeks while showing that he's fully healthy after the year-long absence. The Mets are hoping to activate Edgin from the 15-day DL in early May and use him out of the bullpen.
