Player Update: Orlando Hernandez

Marty Noble at Mets.com, writes about Orlando Hernandez:

Minaya says disabled pitcher Orlando Hernandez will throw off a mound for the first time Wednesday, not an unimportant test for his sore right shoulder (bursitis). A stint throwing batting practice and a simulated game will happen before he is activated.

"We're not going to rush him," Minaya said, which suggests that Sosa and Pelfrey will make their respective starts against the Brewers on Friday and Saturday.
