Johan Santana has been scratched from a second straight start by the Mets because of soreness in his left elbow.

He missed an appearance on Friday, and the team says that he won't pitch on Tuesday when his turn comes up once again.

"There's no hurry with Johan in spring training if he's experiencing any discomfort," manager Jerry Manuel said.

Santana believes that he's been overdoing it in camp.

"I've been throwing bullpens here every other day, and I don't think I've ever done that in the past," Santana said Thursday. "The reason why is because we wanted to test my knee and make sure everything is fine, throwing every other day off the mound."
