Pedro Could Be Out 8 Weeks
Thought an off day would bring no bad news? Then don’t continue reading.
Omar Minaya said yesterday that Pedro Martinez will take a little longer to return to action. The original timetable of 4-6 weeks will actually end up being more like 6-8 weeks. That means more time with Nelson Figueroa and Mike Pelfrey in the rotation.
Pedro’s injury is till being called a mild strain. But at 36 years old the team feels that they want to give the hammy a little extra time to heal. I imagine that if this was September there would be more urgency to get Martinez out there but in April the GM is electing to stay cautious with him and remain optimistic about his team’s ability to overcome this problem. I appreciate the don’t panic public face Minaya is putting on but hope he’s got something going on in the background.
