Johnson ponders

Randy Johnson will take his time deciding whether to pitch next year. The 303-game winner said Thursday there’s no rush and said health and his ability to start again could play a role. Johnson, who turned 46 last month, has been relegated to relief late this season for the San Francisco Giants following two-plus months on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. “There’s no real sense of urgency,” Johnson said. “I’m going to go home and do what everybody else does.” Johnson, who has 4,873 strikeouts, is 8-6 with a 4.93 ERA. On June 4 at Washington, the 6-foot-10 left-hander became the 24th player in major league history to reach 300 wins.
