Charlie Nobles at Mets.com writes about Pedro Martinez and that he is readyto start his rehab assignment:

Pedro Martinez is finally ready to pitch in an organized game. The Mets right-hander worked out for about an hour at the club's Minor League complex on Monday, which included about 10 minutes of pitching off flat ground, and then pronounced himself ready to pitch for Class A St. Lucie on Wednesday night.

He will be rationed to 45 pitches and hopes to complete three innings.
