Mets | Spring training important for Johan Santana

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 09:24:32 -0800

New York Mets SP Johan Santana (shoulder), who is trying to return from left shoulder surgery, will have a very important spring training this season. "The beginning of next season is going to be telltale," said Dr. Jonathan Glashow, a shoulder expert and co-chief of sports medicine at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan. "After a long winter's rest, if he's not back to his level by spring training or beyond, I would be somewhat more pessimistic that he'll ever get it." Santana's shoulder should be fully healed but it's still impossible to say how he will bounce back because he hasn't pitched in competitive action in over three months.
