El Duque Suffers Set Back With Injured Foot
Quote:

Orlando Hernandez's health -- in flux for the majority of his Mets tenure -- has now plunged even further in doubt. The Mets revealed on Wednesday that El Duque suffered a tendon strain in his right foot during his latest rehab start and will wear a protective boot for approximately the next two weeks. His return to the Mets, considering the setback, may still be months away.

"He's going to let it calm down for a couple of days," manager Willie Randolph said. "Usually when you put a boot on like that, it's just basically for rest." Entering Spring Training, El Duque was still recovering from offseason surgery to repair a different tendon in that same foot, all while pitching through a painful bunion. He missed the bulk of the Grapefruit League schedule due to the multiple foot conditions, ultimately returning in time to begin the regular season on the disabled list.
