Pedro Martinez will have surgery to repair a tear in his right rotator cuff at some point next week and is expected to be out for eight months, Mets general manager Omar Minaya announced today at RFK Stadium.
Martinez, 34, already had been scratched for the playoffs because of a muscle tendon tear in his left calf, and during another MRI exam of his shoulder last week in New York, the damaged rotator cuff was discovered.
“You can go rehab it,” Minaya said, “but it was fairly clear the best course of action was to get surgery done on this.”
The operation will be performed at the Hospital for Special Surgery by Mets medical director David Altchek, team physician Struan Coleman and former Red Sox team physician William Morgan.

It has been reported that Pedro Martinez has an injured muscle in one leg, now he injures the muscle in the other leg, on top of that....he hurts his rotator cuff.
Well there is now a report that Pedro has tested positive for the Booly Booly Virus, also the Shingles, Arthritis, Emphysema, Lupus, Hepatitis Z, Asthma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome,Sleep Apnea, Crohn's Disease, Fibromyalgia and also Erectile Dysfunction. Herpes, diarrea, Bob's Disease, baldness, double vision, deafness and big toe crampitis. The Skivs, the Shiffs, the Shalves.....the Chilly Willies and the Barry Gibbs.
Also the Latino jump-up that comes from fooling around with migets.
