Chris Young makes his return to the Mets tonight against Washington after battling bicep tendinitis in his pitching arm. Young claims, "Now it feels back to normal and maybe even better than it did before the end of spring."
Despite being able to come off the Disabled List today, Ronny Paulino is scheduled to make one more start with Triple-A Buffalo. He needs the extra day to test his left oblique which he injured during a rehab assignment.
According to Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger, David Wright is not worried about his future with the team. He compares Wright with Mark Teixeira's situation with the Rangers a few years back. Wright has the most trade value of anyone on the Mets and could bring in a ton of prospects with which the team could build their farm system around.

R.A. Dickey Is A Real Character
R.A. Dickey, in case you haven't heard, entered the Mets clubhouse the other day in a full Darth Vader costume.
Why would he do this, you ask? Well, according to Tyler Kepner who originally reported this event, Dickey said, “It’s just so hilarious to hear Darth Vader say something like, ‘I would like a turkey sandwich.’”
What a character.

Gee Stays, Carrasco Gets The Boot
The Mets made some roster moves after today's game. Dillon Gee will stay, while D.J. Carrasco will be optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.
What Gee's role will be, has yet to be determined. A decision is expected by Terry Collins in the next few days.
According to Sandy Alderson, Carrasco will get some starts while in Buffalo and get back on track. Carrasco hasn't been terribly impressive out of the bullpen for the Mets so far this season.
Gee needs to be kept in the starter role. He's been successful, both in AAA and with the Mets. The problem, however, is who would Alderson and Co. move to the bullpen to make room for Gee? As of late, everyone in the starting rotation has done well.
At this point, it's a good problem to have.

With Chris Young's return, Dillon Gee is most likely going to be sent to Triple-A Buffalo, but it won't be an easy decision for Terry Collins.
Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger, explains how Jon Niese has been working on a changeup to add to his arsenal of pitches.
The feel good stories just keep coming with the Mets this season. Yesterday's the team welcomed the family of a slain police officer from Poughkeepsie. Give them heat about their play on the field, but off the field, they're doing all right.
