Willie Randolph told reporters yesterday that Orlando Hernandez will throw another simulated game, before pitching in a live game.

meaning, we should not expect to see him on a mound in a real game until the last week of spring training…which is why i still believe he’ll remain in St. Lucie, when camp breaks for opening day

Brian Schneider is back on the sidelines with a tight, right hamstring.  However, he told WFAN yesterday that he expects to be back in action when the team returns home this weekend.

Scott Schoeneweis is battling a tight hamstring as well, though it has yet to keep him from pitching.

Luis Castillo told reporters on Tuesday that he intends to play at home on Saturday.
