Coonrod (lat) had his rehab assignment shifted Thursday to Triple-A Syracuse, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coonrod is moving right along on his minor-league rehab assignment after tallying six strikeouts over four scoreless innings with Single-A St. Lucie. The 30-year-old right-hander has been sidelined all season due to a lat strain, but he looks poised to join the Mets' bullpen as early as next week.

Coonrod (lat) began a rehab assignment Sunday with Single-A St. Lucie, striking out one and giving up one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
The outing in the Florida State League was Coonrod's first appearance at any level in 2023, as he's been on the shelf all season while recovering from a right lat strain. Even though he won't require an extensive buildup program since the Mets likely won't deploy him as anything more than a one- or two-inning reliever, Coonrod could require close to the full 30-day rehab window to sharpen his command following the long layoff. Coonrod previously appeared in 12 games in the majors with Philadelphia last season, posting a 7.82 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 12.2 innings.

Coonrod (lat) began throwing off a mound Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coonrod has been on the shelf all season with a right lat strain, and Saturday marks the first time he's thrown off a mound since spring training. There's still no plan in place for Coonrod to embark on a rehab assignment, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Coonrod (lat) was transferred Thursday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
EDGE Analysis
This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for the Mets' waiver claim of Edwin Uceta from the Pirates. Coonrod will be sidelined until at least early June as he recovers from a high-grade lat strain.

Coonrod (lat) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.
EDGE Analysis
Coonrod was diagnosed with a high-grade lat strain two weeks ago, so it's no surprise he's beginning the season on the shelf. The right-hander doesn't have an official timeline for his return, but he shouldn't be expected to be available for the Mets anytime soon.
