New York Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea hit a big milestone in his recovery from an elbow injury that put him on the injured list.

The lefty complained of elbow soreness after his last rehab start Friday and received an MRI and cortisone shot Monday. Manaea felt discomfort toward the end of a start where he allowed one run over 5 1/3 innings, with seven strikeouts, and didn't recover the next day as he expected.
