endured the worst start of his major league career on Saturday, Terry Collins told reporters that “pitching on regular rest played a role” in what transpired.
Harvey, who made it known before the game he unhappy about the six-man rotation, gave up six hits including two homers, two walks and seven runs in four innings.
“You’ve got to look at everything. He’ll say no, I’m sure. But there’s no reason to think it’s not a factor,” Collins told reporters.
Prior to the game, Collins held a meeting with the team’s other four starting pitchers about how the six-man rotation will work when Dillon Gee returns from the disabled list on Sunday and gets the start next Friday.
