| October 27, 2005 Pedro Martinez is still experiencing discomfort in his injured right big toe, according to Newsday. He believes that rest and rehab will take care of the problem, and he doesn't think surgery will be necessary. "They told me to rest it for a month and see how it goes from there," Martinez said Wednesday. "Just walking around, I can tell that it's not as good as I'd like it to be. But it's not getting worse." |
| September 27, 2005 The Mets have announced that Pedro Martinez will not make his final two starts of the season because of his ailing right foot, according to the New York Daily News. |
| September 23, 2005 Pedro Martinez probably will be shut down for the rest of the season, according to the AP. He's dealt with a variety of injuries this season, the most bothersome right now being a toe problem. Martinez is next set to start Tuesday, and Mets manager Willie Randolph said: "If we're mathematically eliminated by then, then he definitely won't pitch." |
| August 24, 2005 Pedro Martinez admitted Tuesday that he is bothered by both a sore right foot and a lingering stiffness between his shoulder blades, according to Newsday. He received a cortisone shot for the foot problem last season. |
| August 23, 2005 Mets manager Willie Randolph doesn't expect the back discomfort Pedro Martinez experienced in his last outing to prevent him from starting Thursday, according to the New York Daily News. |
| August 14, 2005 Pedro Martinez was five outs away from throwing a no-hitter on Sunday but wound up losing the game when he allowed a two-run home run to Jayson Werth in the eighth inning. He finished with five strikeouts and one walk in his eight innings of work. |
| May 20, 2005 Pedro Martinez reported no problems with his right hip on Friday and is still on schedule to start Sunday's game, according to the AP. |
| May 18, 2005 Pedro Martinez will miss his scheduled start against the Yankees on Friday because of inflammation in his hip. An MRI revealed the problem, and Martinez received a cortisone injection. Martinez is tentatively slated to pitch on Sunday, but if he isn't ready to go the Mets will start Aaron Heilman. |
| May 10, 2005 Pedro Martinez has been moved back a day in the Mets' rotation because he said he felt fatigued after his last start, according to the New York Daily News. Martinez will now start on Saturday with Tom Glavine getting the nod on Friday. |
| April 10, 2005 Pedro Martinez looked like his old self on Sunday by tossing a two-hitter against the Braves. He struck out nine and walked one while allowing just one run. It was good for the Mets' first victory of the year. |
| April 4, 2005 Pedro Martinez gave up three runs in the first inning of his debut for the Mets but was lights out the rest of the way. Martinez allowed just three hits and those initial three runs in six innings. He struck out 12 and walked two, but the bullpen blew a potential win. |
| March 29, 2005 Pedro Martinez threw 83 pitches against Mets minor leaguers Tuesday and said he plans to start the season opener, according to the AP. Martinez allowed one earned run and three hits over five innings of the simulated game. He struck out seven and walked two. "I wish I had a little more command, but I felt pretty good. My arm was in good shape and my legs responded well," Martinez said. "I'm trying to be good, but at the same time careful and smart. It's not like I'm a young buck." |
| March 29, 2005 The Mets decided to have Pedro Martinez face minor leaguers today instead of making his scheduled Grapefruit League start, according to the New York Daily News. Manager Willie Randolph said it had more to do with getting relievers work than sparing Martinez a bus ride that could affect the pitcher's stiff back. |
| March 28, 2005 Despite dealing with some stiffness in his lower back yesterday, Pedro Martinez threw a bullpen session and said he plans to start tomorrow's exhibition game, according to the New York Daily News. However, the Mets may play it safe and hold him out until Wednesday, which would still keep him on target to start opening day. |
| March 27, 2005 Pedro Martinez reported no trouble with his back after throwing on flat ground yesterday, according to the New York Daily News. Martinez, who was scratched from his scheduled start Friday, said he should make his next start on Tuesday. |
| March 26, 2005 Pedro Martinez said his back started to tighten up on him Wednesday and eventually was bad enough to require an X-ray and keep him from his scheduled start on Friday, according to the New York Daily News. The X-rays were negative and he still plans to be ready for opening day. "Opening Day, without a doubt if I play it careful right now, it's going to be there," he said. |
| February 9, 2005 Pedro Martinez typically arrived late to spring training when he was with the Red Sox, but he showed up nine days early to the Mets' camp yesterday, according to Newsday. "He did it on his own," said GM Omar Minaya. |
