Mets' Isringhausen 'Feels Normal' Following Bullpen Session

The 38-year-old reliever threw off the mound Wednesday for the first time in five days.

Isringhausen says he plans to throw Friday in a minor league game, noting "everything feels normal."

The two-time All-Star has had three Tommy John elbow surgeries throughout his 14-year career. He hasn't pitched in the majors since elbow surgery in June 2009.

Isringhausen hasn't appeared in a game since last Friday. So far this spring, he has gone 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA with three strikeouts in six innings, allowing two hits and three walks.
