Marty Noble at Mets.com reports Paul Lo Duca is likely to miss a few more days because of tendinitis in his right hand.

Lo Duca received a cortisone injection in the hand on Thursday and missed the Mets' workout. Indications from the club were that he had received the same treatment each of the previous six springs as a means of preventing greater incapacity.

“It's not that serious,” manager Willie Randolph said. “We'll know more in a few days.”
