Felix Hernandez: on track for May 4th start

[The Big Train]

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, some potentially good news for those of you that own Felix...

Felix Hernandez threw on the side before Wednesday's game and came out of it fine. Hernandez, who is on the disabled list with soreness in his right forearm, will probably throw a bullpen session this weekend and is scheduled to start in Yankee Stadium on May 4, the first day he's eligible to come off the disabled list.

Knock on wood - hope his highness comes back dominant.

Heard the start got pushed back to the 5th due to that rainout in texas

[shappy]

to be honest my pitching is hurting without him, but would rather have this pushed back and have him healthy for the rest of the season then have the m's rush him back to make a specific deadline

[Surrender2theYankees]

oh boy this is good news. i just hope he feels 100% when he comes back, so he can stay healthy all year. here is to a fantastic 1-0 no decision, 15 K performance loss against the yankees upon his return!!

Why couldn't he be facing some cupcake team his first game back? I don't know whether to start him against the Yankees.

Still, this is good news for Felix owners. Let's hope our first big scare will be our last.
