A Martinez Set Back

Bart Hubbuch at The New York Post writes about Pedro Martinez and his new expected return date:

GM Omar Minaya told The Post the Mets now expect a strained left hamstring to sideline Martinez until at least the middle of May - and possibly into June.

Although the Mets still describe the injury as a mild strain, Minaya said a return by Martinez before the six-week mark has since been ruled out by the team and its doctors. Martinez has been rehabbing at his home in Miami since the injury.
