Mets left-hander Johan Santana may return to the major leagues next week, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder.
Santana plans to throw in a Florida State League playoff game with St. Lucie on Friday if that club has a game that day.
If not, he will represent Savannah in a South Atlantic League playoff game the same day.
"I would love to be at the major league level," Santana said.
"There's no question about it. I mean, I would love to be at the major league level right now. The reality is that I can't. We have a process that I have to follow. And if my next outing everything goes fine, then it might be a possibility of being at the major league level."
