Notebook: Martinez returns to Shea mound

Pedro Martinez will take the mound at Shea Stadium today for the first time since he had major shoulder surgery in October.

“I’m more confident every time I take the ball, but I’m going to still have to be cautious,” Martinez said Saturday. “I can’t go crazy out there like I am when I’m not pitching.”

Martinez earned a win in his first start of the season, getting through five innings in 76 pitches to help the Mets beat the Reds 10-4 in Cincinnati on Monday. It was his first big league outing since he lasted just 2 2/3 innings in a loss at Atlanta on Sept. 27 last year.

Glaus declines to comment

Toronto third baseman Troy Glaus declined to address accusations that he received performance-enhancing drugs from a Florida pharmacy under investigation for illegally distributing prescription medications.

Glaus, a four-time All-Star, received multiple shipments of nandrolone and testosterone between September 2003 and May 2004, SI.com reported Friday.

“I respect the fact that you guys have a job to do. I expect that you certainly have some questions. I am not going to comment on the story,” Glaus told reporters before Saturday’s game at Tampa Bay.

Major League Baseball has already asked to meet with him.

Trembley calls out Cabrera

Baltimore manager Dave Trembley met with pitcher Daniel Cabrera, one day after the right-hander threw an inside fastball to Boston’s Dustin Pedroia that nearly started a brawl.

“Uncalled for, unprofessional, no need to do it,” Trembley said.

“He was apologetic. He knows he crossed the line and we’ll move on from it.”
