The Mets have shut down pitcher Tim Redding because of soreness and a lack of strength in his pitching shoulder. The team also said that it's unlikely he'll make their Opening Day roster. Redding was delayed earlier this spring by shoulder stiffness, but said he is now experiencing a different kind of ache. "It's totally different because the beginning of camp, it was just a completely unconditioned situation," he said on Saturday. "... Now it's more or less a pinpoint simple area giving me discomfort. "It's not a burn, it's not a shooting pain, it's just an achiness, and the only way we can identify trying to get that better is to back off."
