In a post to his blog for WFAN.com, Mets reporter Ed Coleman says Billy Wagner is ahead of schedule and aiming to return in August.

wagner would be a great late-season addition, if he’s able to pull it off… forgive me for saying this, but, imagine entering the end of September with Francisco Rodriguez, J.J. Putz and wagner in the bullpen

Coleman also weighs in on Omar Minaya’s off-season strategy, and the team’s potential starting rotation next season.
