The Rotation

Anthony Rieber at Newsday, writes about the Mets starting rotation after the All-Star break:

Orlando Hernandez will start Thursday against the Reds at Shea Stadium, followed by John Maine and Tom Glavine. Next Sunday's starter is undecided; the Mets hope it will be Oliver Perez if he is recovered from the back stiffness that put him on the disabled list July 3.

If Perez is ready, Mike Pelfrey or Dave Williams will get the first turn at the fifth spot next Monday in San Diego.
