| September 5, 2007 Pedro Martinez reported no day-after problems after his start on Monday. "Thanks to God, perfect," he tells the New York Post. It was the ace's first major league start of the season following rotator cuff surgery. Martinez will throw a bullpen session on Thursday and start against the Astros on Sunday. |
| September 3, 2007 Mets starter Pedro Martinez earned a victory in his first start of 2007 Monday, throwing five innings against the Reds. Martinez struck out his 3,000th career batter in the second inning of the game, which was his first appearance since undergoing rotator cuff surgery in 2006. |
| September 2, 2007 Pedro Martinez has been cleared to make his season debut on Monday, according to the New York Daily News. He will be on a strict pitch count that can't exceed 35 pitches in an inning or 75 for the game. Pedro has been out all season while recovering from shoulder surgery. |
| September 1, 2007 As expected, Pedro Martinez tossed a bullpen session on Friday. So long as he responds well Saturday, the Mets expect him to return to action and start Monday's game, according to the New York Daily News. Pedro has been recovering all season from shoulder surgery, so if you've held onto him all summer, it's time to get him into your active lineup. |
| August 30, 2007 Pedro Martinez will throw a bullpen session on Friday. Pitching coach Rick Peterson wants to gauge the right-hander's progress, the New York Daily News reports. Martinez will then make at least one more minor league start before coming back to the majors. |
| August 29, 2007 Pedro Martinez could rejoin the rotation in September after making at least one more rehab start in the minor leagues, the AP reports. GM Omar Minaya said he was hopeful that if all goes well, Martinez could start during the final two weeks of the regular season. Nothing ever seems definite when discussing Martinez return dates, so take this news with the usual grain of salt. |
| August 27, 2007 Pedro Martinez allowed an unearned run and five hits in six innings Monday night for Single-A St. Lucie, according to the AP. "I felt good overall," said Martinez, who threw 52 of 88 pitches for strikes. "I feel like I used all my pitches and I was getting more confident as the game went on. The first two innings I felt a little out of whack." |
| August 24, 2007 Pedro Martinez will stick at Single-A and make his fourth rehab start on Monday. He will throw between 80 and 90 pitches, the New York Post reports. He is coming off rotator cuff surgery. |
| August 23, 2007 Pedro Martinez (shoulder) will throw a side session this week at the Mets complex in Florida, then a decision will be made about his next rehab start, the AP reports. Martinez has made three rehab starts so far, working five innings in the most recent one Monday. |
| August 21, 2007 Pedro Martinez looked a lot better in his third rehab start on Monday. He worked five innings and gave up only two hits and two unearned runs. He walked one and struck out four. "Today I looked more like I should look," Martinez tells the New York Daily News. |
| August 15, 2007 Pedro Martinez may have posted an ugly statline in his second rehab start on Tuesday, but he was pleased with the results. "I like this outing a lot more than the other one," Martinez tells the New York Daily News. "I had more command. I actually felt like I pitched a little bit. I was making pitches where I wanted to. Overall it was a jump ahead, a great improvement." He will likely start again on Monday and could need as many as three more rehab starts. Martinez is recovering from rotator cuff surgery. |
| August 14, 2007 Pedro Martinez will make his second rehab start on Tuesday, the New York Post confirms. Martinez, who is recovering from rotator cuff surgery, threw 63 pitches in his first rehab outing last Wednesday. |
| August 8, 2007 Pedro Martinez struggled in his first rehab start Wednesday, but he was optimistic anyway. "I felt great," Martinez told the AP. "My arm, my body is recovering good.

Recovering from rotator cuff surgery, it's not clear where Pedro will make his next start. |
| August 7, 2007 Pedro Martinez will make his first rehab start on Wednesday night for Single-A St. Lucie. He was scheduled to appear last Wednesday, but that effort was rained out.

He is recovering from rotator cuff surgery, and his rehab stint can last no longer than 30 days. |
| August 2, 2007 Pedro Martinez tossed 50 of the 67 pitches he threw in a simulated game Thursday for strikes. "I feel well right now," Martinez told the AP. "I can tell you after the game, whether I iced or not, I feel fine. I feel normal." Working his way back from rotator cuff surgery, Martinez could make his first rehab start on Tuedsay, after his first attempt was rained out Wednesday. |
| August 1, 2007 Pedro Martinez had his first scheduled rehab start with Single-A St. Luice rained out Wednesday.

| July 30, 2007 Pedro Martinez said he plans to throw 45 pitches Wednesday for the St. Lucie Mets and could make another start for the Single-A team before determining the next step in his comeback, according to the AP.

| July 27, 2007 Pedro Martinez threw 65 pitches in batting practice Friday at the Mets' spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and could be ready for a minor league rehab game next week, according to the AP.

| July 15, 2007 Pedro Martinez worked a bullpen session on Friday. His next steps will be another session Tuesday and a simulated game Friday, according to the New York Daily News.

Martinez hopes to be pitching with the Mets sometime in August. |
| June 5, 2007 Pedro Martinez threw off a mound on Tuesday for the first time since undergoing rotator cuff surgery, according to the AP. He threw 31 pitches, all fastballs.

| June 1, 2007 Pedro Martinez is scheduled to throw off a mound Tuesday for the first time since rotator cuff surgery.

Pedro is expected to return to the Mets sometime in August. |
| April 29, 2007 Pedro Martinez should start throwing off a mound "sometime in June," GM Omar Minaya told the AP. Martinez, coming back from rotator cuff surgery, is still "in the long-toss mode," according to Minaya. |
| April 24, 2007 Pedro Martinez is now throwing at 180 feet, up from the 75 feet he was throwing at on March 23, according to the New York Post. GM Omar Minaya said it will be "at least" June until Pedro throws from a mound, and he is still projecting a return in August for the right-hander. |
| April 20, 2007 The Mets have yet to budge on their conservative estimate of an early-August return for Pedro Martinez, but that could always be moved up if his rehab continues without a hitch, Newsday reports. He's still considered ahead of schedule to this point. |
| March 29, 2007 For the first time since undergoing surgery in October, Pedro Martinez was able to throw a ball on Wednesday, according to the AP. He lightly tossed a ball for about 10 minutes from 45 feet. "He looked good," said Randy Niemann, the Mets' rehabilitation pitching coordinator. "It's just the beginning. It's the start of a long process, but he looked really good." He likely won't be game ready until at least the All-Star break. |
| March 13, 2007 Pedro Martinez, recovering from shoulder surgery, made 50 throws from about 60 feet on flat ground Tuesday and said he's now on schedule to throw four times a week, according to the AP. Pedro won't make any predictions about when he'll return to the mound. "I'm working to get ready for that day," Martinez said. "I can't talk about it. Talking about all that, I'd probably run away to Jamaica or something. I'm just doing what they say to do each day and not looking ahead. I am doing what I am told to do so I don't mess anything up. I saw what I did before the playoffs last year and that was not good." |
| March 7, 2007 Pedro Martinez threw for the first time on Wednesday since undergoing rotator cuff surgery in October, according to the AP.

| March 2, 2007 Pedro Martinez can start throwing Saturday as part of his recuperation from October rotator cuff surgery, the AP reports.

"A lot of it has to do with, psychologically, where is he at?" |
| February 23, 2007 Pedro Martinez should know next week when he can start throwing, the AP reports. Recovering from rotator cuff surgery, Martinez is likely to miss the first half of the season. He repeated that he's working hard at rehabilitation and expects his right shoulder to heal. "If it doesn't, then I need to hang it up, hang it and go home because I'm not going to work any harder," Martinez said Friday. |
| January 10, 2007 Pedro Martinez has promised that he won't rush his return from shoulder surgery next year, according to the AP. "My timetable will be the exact one that the doctor predicted," Martinez said. "Like I said before, I'm not going to try to be overaggressive and risk anything. I'll do what they told me to do and I'll try to come back fine -- not only for a year or two, but for the rest of my career." Pedro is expected to begin throwing in March, and he's expected to be back on the mound in July or August. |
