As was first reported by Adam Rubin yesterday at his blog for the Daily News, Pedro Feliciano did not arrive to yesterday’s game until the seventh inning - as he was excused for personal reasons by the team.

…from what i can gather, though, the deal was that he could travel back to Puerto Rico, but had to be back with the team, on time, for Tuesday’s game…however, feliciano’s flight was delayed, he was late, and now faces possible disciplinary action from the team…

…and it hurt, too, because he was needed late in the game…in fact, i joked about issuing a Missing Person’s Report for him…turns out, that may have helped…

…on a serious note, knowing feliciano’s struggles at home over the last year, i hope all is well back in Puerto Rico…

Feliciano has not pitched since April 2, during which he tossed just one inning with an 11–0 lead against the Marlins.
