| Player Notes |
| May 14, 2008 The Mets designated Nelson Figueroa for assignment on Tuesday night. Claudio Vargas has been called up to take his rotation spot. |
| April 28, 2008 The Monday night game between the Pirates and Mets was postponed due to rain. Ian Snell and Johan Santana will now take the ball to the mound on Tuesday, and the result of the cancellation means Nelson Figueroa will give his scheduled Sunday start against the D'backs and Daren Haren to Santana. |
| April 27, 2008 Mets starter Nelson Figueroa cruised through the first five innings of Sunday's win over Atlanta, allowing just three hits. But he gave up hits to four of the first five batters in the sixth inning before leaving the game. |
| April 22, 2008 Nelson Figueroa came back to Earth a bit on, uh, Earth Day. The right-hander allowed seven hits and three runs over five innings against the Cubs. Figueroa hurt himself by issuing five walks (two intentional). |
| April 15, 2008 Nelson Figueroa is going to remain in the Mets' rotation longer, as the team is going to push Pedro Martinez back, according to the NY Post. The team wants to be careful with Pedro's hamstring strain and GM Omar Minaya added, "We're definitely going to be more conservative with him. With hamstrings, you just never know. We've got to be careful." Martinez could be out until possibly June. |
| April 11, 2008 Nelson Figueroa picked up his first victory of the season as he retired 14-straight Brewers at one point in the Mets 4-2 win. Figueroa limited the Brew Crew to just two hits, two walks and two runs over six innings, while he picked up six K. With Orlando Hernandez and Pedro Martinez on the DL, the Mets really need one of their pitchers to step up to fill the void, and this was a great first step for Figueroa in that attempt. |
| April 6, 2008 Nelson Figueroa will start for the Mets on Friday, according to the NY Post. It may only be a one-time situation for him if Mike Pelfrey pitches favorably and if Orlando Hernandez comes off the DL as scheduled next week. Figueroa was notably called up from Triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday, after Pedro Martinez was sidelined 4-to-6 weeks with a hamstring strain. |
