News: Orlando Hernandez, Back in the Boot

Orlando Hernandez is back in a medical boot, this time with a strained tendon, and will be sidelined for two weeks – at which point he’ll be re-evaluated.

Hernandez returned to New York from St. Lucie yesterday for an MRI.

i hope he makes it back…i do…because he can be an effective pitcher…the thing is, i am no longer holding my breath…and, i’m starting to feel like the Mets should approach their pitching staff as though el duque, as well as Pedro Martinez, will not return…which is not to say they will not…and i hope the eventually do…i just think it’s safer to operate under the former…for security purposes…plus, this way, they can save money on medical tape
