Johan Santana is still scheduled to start Thursday. The Mets are considering shutting the left-hander down for the rest of the season, but he threw his normal between-starts bullpen session on Monday and is gearing up to the take the mound Thursday afternoon against the Rockies. Santana has a brutal 8.27 ERA since his no-hitter in early June.
