E-Mail Bag: Where Is Juan Padilla?

What ever happened to Juan Padilla? I thought he was supposed to come back to the team sometime this season. Did he get re injured or what?

Juan Padilla is most likely to miss the entire season due to a partial tear to his right elbow. The last report on him was March 27th. That injury coupled with his Tommy John surgery doesn’t look at all good and I’m a Padilla fan.

Hopefully he can get healthy and make a return to the Mets pen next season. Although I see him spending at least some portion of the beginning of the season in Triple-A.
