New York Mets starting pitcher Jeurys Familia

The Mets’ bullpen may soon be getting some much needed relief of their own as relievers Jeurys Familia and Scott Atchison both began their rehab assignments with Advanced-A St. Lucie on Saturday.

Each reliever tossed a scoreless 1-2-3 inning and struck out one as they began their road back to the Mets.

Familia, 22, who was placed on the disabled list with right biceps tendinitis, had a 3.48 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 10.1 innings with the Mets this season before getting injured.

Atchison, 37, was placed on the disabled list May 14 with inflammation in his right elbow that led to finger numbness. In 19 appearances spanning 18.0 innings he has a 4.50 ERA and 1.44 WHIP for the Mets.
