Back in Action

Johan Santana's elbow appears to be fine. He'll start on Thursday after a good bullpen session:

Since a false start earlier in camp, when he was scratched from a "B" game against Italy because of elbow tightness, Santana has shown no signs of being slowed. One clear indication Mets officials feel good about the ace's health is that few executives bothered to monitor Santana's bullpen session. Only chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon, who had just returned to camp, checked it out. Manuel suggested Santana could go two or three innings and throw 45 pitches against the Marlins.

"Right now, I feel pretty good, and I felt like I could get in a game," Santana said.

There's no mention of Santana's status for opening day.
