News: John Maine on Target

by Matthew Cerrone on August 9th, 2008 at 8:19 am

John Maine tossed a 61–pitch, three-inning simulated game yesterday afternoon.

Jerry Manuel, on Maine, speaking to reporters yesterday:

“(Saturday) probably will be a big day.  We’ll see how he recovers from (the simulated game), if he feels good and normal stiffness and that type of thing, he should be fine for his start on Wednesday.”

The Mets play the Nationals on Wednesday in Washington, DC.
