The Mets have announced that Oliver Perez will start on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
No word on what the fate is of Tim Redding, the pitcher he replaced in the rotation.
My guess: Elmer Dessens is sent down and Redding slides into the bullpen.

Also, Fernando Martinez is “out” according to Steve Popper. Popper writes that he will be examined by team doctors in New York on Monday.
A similar injury cost him six weeks a few years ago, says Popper.
