Dickey Awaiting OK To Start Tuesday
Jun 29, 2014 2:04 PM
R.A. Dickey is awaiting approval from Mets manager Terry Collins to start Tuesday against the Pirates.
Dickey hopes to pitch through a torn plantar fascia when his turn in the rotation comes up.
"By my standards, I thought it went great," Dickey said of a bullpen session. "As far as an answer as to whether or not I'm going to pitch Tuesday, obviously I believe that I am, but if he writes my name in the No. 9 hole, you'll know that I am."
Collins, who spoke to reporters before Dickey's session, remained noncommittal, though he did say the team would like to decide Sunday to allow for contingency plans.
