News and notes will be emerging throughout the day.  This post will be updated as new pieces of information come in (newest at the top)…

• According to the New York Post, Jenrry Mejia has forearm tendinitis.

• Per Jon Heyman, Johan Santana had a throwing session this morning and felt fine afterwards.

• Daniel Murphy (intercostal strain) is playing second base today in a minor league game.  It’s his first game action since being shut down early in camp.  According to Adam Rubin, though Murphy is participating in the game, he isn’t getting plate appearances.

• In the Daily News, Andy Martino writes that if Lucas Duda doesn’t start to produce at a higher level, Jordany Valdespin will “push him” and may take his job as the starting left fielder.
