Orlando Hernandez Has Arthritis

Orlando Hernandez, who traveled to New York for an MRI, was diagnosed today with arthritis at the base of his neck and received a cortisone shot.

The Mets think Hernandez will be just fine. He's set to resume throwing in three or four days. El Duque will likely have physcial problems throughout the season, but this is shaping up to be a minor one.

I hope that the Mets thinking of Orlando Hernandez being just fine is correct.
