Mets closer Jeurys Familia will soon throw off a mound, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
Familia started a throwing program in Port. St. Lucie earlier this month and Mets manager Terry Collins said he will return this season.
The 27-year-old underwent surgery in May after suffering an arterial blood clot in his right shoulder. He went 1-1 with three saves and a 3.86 ERA before he was placed on the 60-day disabled list.
Familia also missed 15 games to start the season after he was suspended for violating the league's domestic violence policy.
