Shaun Marcum to return March 25 or 26
Shaun Marcum - S - New York Mets

Mets manager Terry Collins expects Shaun Marcum (shoulder) to return to Grapefruit League action on March 25 or 26.

Marcum had to have a cortisone shot on Tuesday for an impingement in his pitching shoulder, but it's an issue the righty told Collins that he gets "every spring." Barring a setback, it sounds like Marcum should be ready to take his first turn once the regular season begins.
