Hernandez awaits special shoe: According to The Sports Xchange notes: RHP Orlando Hernandez is working out with short-season Brooklyn. The special shoe to protect the bunion on his right foot isn't ready. (Updated 07/23/2008).
Injury Report
Foot - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-August (Updated - 7/23/08)
Fantasy Analysis
El Duque could be a sleeper to help the Mets as a spot starter or a short reliever in the second half, but he is nothing more than a DL stashee in the deepest of NL-only leagues at this point. It is still possible he might never pitch again. (Updated 07/23/2008).
