Worth noting

• The bones in Ryan Mattheus' fractured right hand have healed, but manager Davey Johnson said the right-hander still had a long way to go in his rehab. Mattheus played catch on the field before Thursday's game and had his hand examined by trainer Lee Kuntz.

"That's going to be a slow process," Johnson said. "It won't be like it is for starting pitcher, but he's gotta go through that mound work, throwing every day, and then getting on a mound every other day, throwing bullpens, throwing to live hitters."

• Catcher Wilson Ramos is on track to begin a Minor League rehab assignment within 10 days, Johnson said.
