Mike Baxter is making progress from the shoulder injury suffered in Johan Santana's no-hitter-saving catch.
Baxter said he has full range of motion in the shoulder and has started hitting off a tee, "so it's coming along pretty well."
He has yet to run, and does not expect to immediately see live pitching when he arrives in Florida.
Doctors originally had predicted a six-week recovery time from the June 1 injury,which Baxter suffered making a no-hitter-saving catch for Johan Santana.
Meanwhile, Jason Bay reiterated Wednesday morning that he expects to head to the Mets' Florida complex no later than Friday.
