NEW YORK -- Vince Velasquez will return to the mound Wednesday night fresh off a brief stint on the disabled list for an injury that initially looked like it could threaten his season. The Philadelphia Phillies will be quite pleased if Velasquez ends up pitching as well following his scare as Jacob deGrom has performed for the New York Mets since his own flirtation with disaster.
Velasquez is scheduled to come off the disabled list Wednesday and start the finale of a four-game series for the Phillies against the Mets at Citi Field.
