Health: The Senior Circuit

by Matthew Cerrone on April 23rd, 2008 at 7:32 am

The Mets announced yesterday that Pedro Martinez will begin throwing from a mound in 10 days or so.

…this would suggest he may not see a rehab start, assuming he makes one, until the end of May, which is what the team initially thought last week

Also, Orlando Hernandez will keep his foot in a boot for two more weeks, while continuing to rehab a strained ligament.

it was a good run, el duque, but the sun is setting, old friend

For additional information on the team’s injuries, read Newsday, the Daily News, and the Bergen Record.
