Health: F-Mart’s Knee, and the Rest of the Cavalry

by Matthew Cerrone on July 6th, 2009 at 9:19 am

According to SNY, Fernando Martinez will have his sore right knee examined today at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery

Frankly, I have a feeling the Mets may end up sending martinez back to Triple-A, while promoting Angel Pagan, who is getting closer and closer to being ready for action.

Jerry Manuel told reporters before yesterday’s game that Martinez is feeling better than he did on Friday or Saturday.

Meanwhile, Jose Reyes is still not running the bases, despite being able to hit, catch and throw in St. Lucie.

There is still no hard rehab schedule for Carlos Beltran, who, from what I can gather, is still feeling pain in his bruised knee.

John Maine has yet to throw from a mound, as he continues to rest his shoulder and nurse his way back from a pinched nerve.

Lastly, as far as I can tell, Billy Wagner may be back playing for the Mets this season before J.J. Putz or Carlos Delgado.
