Mets manager Carlos Mendoza updated the rehab statuses of injured left-handers Sean Manaea and Brooks Raley before Saturday's game at the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Manaea, who has been on the injured list since late March with a right oblique strain, had a setback in his left elbow and played catch earlier this week.
He does not yet have a next rehab start in mind, Mendoza said.
"He's scheduled to throw a bullpen (Sunday) back in New York, and then we'll see where we're at after that," Mendoza said.
The Mets have to wait and see with how Manaea responds, Mendoza added.
"We've got to, especially with what he's dealing with now," Mendoza said. "Again, bullpen (Sunday) and we've got to wait (and see) how he responds and we'll make that next decision."
Raley, meanwhile, is set to pitch for Double-A Binghamton in Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox-affiliated Portland Sea Dogs.
"We'll see what's next after that," Mendoza said. "Obviously, he's got to go to (Triple-A) Syracuse at some point.
"I think we're going to see one-plus (inning) out of him, so we started that process — finishing an inning and then going back out for another one. I think that's happening (Saturday)."
Raley started his rehab assignment June 17 with Low-A St. Lucie before Saturday's Binghamton transfer.
"I think it's more (likely) after the (All-Star) break," Mendoza said of when Raley, who underwent Tommy John surgery last May, could return to the Mets.
