Mets progressing

For Lucas Duda and Zack Wheeler, just getting back on the field was a positive sign.

Part of the banged-up brigade for the New York Mets last year, both Duda and Wheeler said Wednesday that they’re making progress in their return from injuries.

Duda resumed full baseball activities after being slowed by back and hip issues. After a morning workout, the power-hitting first baseman said he wasn’t sure when he’ll make his spring training debut in a game.

“I don’t want to say two days, three days, then it be four or five, but we’ll take it day-by-day,” Duda said.

Duda had been sidelined at the plate since last week, when he took too many swings in batting practice. He received cortisone shots in both hips, waited a couple of days for them to take effect and was restricted to fielding grounders.

The 31-year-old Duda hit .229 with seven home runs last year while being limited to just 47 games because of a stress fracture in his back.

“Today (is) a normal day,” he said. “We took a little bit of time because we were afforded that luxury. We’ll get back at it today and see how it goes.”

“It’s nice to come to the field and get to play baseball. I’ve been doing defensive stuff. Today is the first day and we’ll see where I’m at,” he said. “I felt great (early in camp). It was just a spasm, so we treated it very gingerly and kind of took our time. There’s no issue.” ORIOLES Adam Jones hit two homers and drove in three runs and Orioles starter Dylan Bundy gave up one earned run in two innings.

Boston’s Andrew Benintendi hit a two-run homer.
