According to Adam Rubin, "Nelson Figueroa is expected to replace Pedro Martinez on the roster."
We're all still waiting on Pedro's MRI results, but even if it's just a strain, a short stint on the DL is likely. The Mets could have Jorge Sosa fill in for a short period of time, but if someone is needed for more than a couple of games, Figueroa is the perfect fit.
I've been singing Figueroa's praises all spring training, so having him come up to the big team is good news even if it means Pedro is down for the count.
Maybe Figueroa can surprise a few people and if Mike Pelfrey struggles in his 5th starter spot, Figgy can fill in there if need be.
