Once again Dominican pitcher Pedro Martinez is heading back to the disabled list after he suffered a minor injury to his hamstring. He has been placed on the 15 day DL and is expected to be out between four and six weeks. The New York Mets pitcher has suffered a series of injuries that have kept him sidelined through most of the last three seasons. Mets manager Willie Randolph admitted that things didn't look good for Martinez.
In other baseball news, Dominican slugger David "Big Papi" Ortiz swatted a two-run homerun during the Boston Red Sox's 5-0 pounding of the Oakland A's. This is Papi's first hit in 12 turns to the plate this year, but if past history is an indicator, Ortiz and fans are in for another big number, high powered offensive season. Experts say Ortiz is looking good in early after recovering from a knee injury that affected him last year.
Finally, Dominican power forward Al Horford continued his stellar rookie season by scoring his 22nd double-double of the season after scoring 14 points and 12 rebounds, in 35 minutes of play in a win against the Toronto Raptors. Horford is making a strong case for Rookie of the Year and has been a leading piece in the resurgence of the Hawks, who are currently holding on the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.
Also having a good night was Dominican forward Charlie Villanueva, who scored 24 points and had 11 boards in the Milwaukee Bucks' win over the Washington Wizards.
