Pedro Martinez left the Mets on Wednesday and will miss Friday's scheduled start as he returns home to the Dominican Republic following the death of his father.
While on the DL earlier this season Martinez went home to care for his ailing father. He hasn't pitched well this season, posting a 6.25 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP in 44 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Impact: You have to wonder if the gravity of having his father hurt Pedro's performance on the field. He's battle various injuries this year as well, but if he comes back inspired from the personal tragedy Martinez may still offer something special down the stretch.
