Anthony DiComo of MLB.com writes that it's "sounding more and more" like Johan Santana (shoulder) will not pitch for the Mets this season. It's a reversal of course, as Santana has looked good in his last two rehab appearances, and signs were pointing to him making a start with the Mets as early as next week. Ultimately, though, we can't be too surprised, and there's certainly no need to rush him back. Barring any setbacks, the lefty should enter spring training totally healthy.
