Quintana Cleared to Resume Throwing; Mets Rotation Continues to Struggle

Mets pitcher José Quintana has been cleared medically to begin throwing again after recovering from rib surgery during spring training.
Quintana suffered a stress fracture in his rib during spring training and underwent a bone graft surgery.
He will begin mound work for the first time on Saturday and expects to go out on a rehab assignment relatively soon.
The Mets signed Quintana to a two-year, $34 million contract this past offseason.
The Mets have had a rough start to the season with their rotation pitching poorly.
