After an off day on Monday, the New York Mets will gets a couple of players back from injury before they open a series with the Washington Nationals. First, Jose Reyes looks to come back from a strained hamstring that he suffered earlier in the week, which has put him out for the past series with the Brewers. Also, from reports and interviews with Willie Randolph, it sounds that the Mets will get some bullpen help from Duaner Sanchez on Tuesday. The Mets setup man who hasn't pitched in a MLB game since 2006 will be back with the team tonight and the team will send rookie Carlos Muniz to Triple A.
On the bad side of the injury bug, according to Bart Hubbach of the New York Post, Pedro Martinez is expected to be out until the middle of May, possibly into June. The Mets will continue to use Nelson Figueroa as their starter, but if he falters at any point the Mets wont be afraid to go to newly signed Claudio Vargas.
