Mets fans, mark your calendars: Pedro Martinez could be back on the mound by August. "Things with Pedro are moving forward very nicely," Mets GM Omar Minaya said Tuesday. "We are hoping for his return in August, but the most important thing is that he recovers from his injury." Martinez, in the third year of a four-year contract with the Mets, has sat out the season recovering from rotator cuff surgery. Last year, he went 9-8 with a 4.48 ERA.
