Matt Harvey ‘extremely happy’ after rocky rehab appearance

WAPPINGERS FALLS — The Dark Knight took a small step toward getting back to the mound at Citi Field. But before Mets fans get too excited, realize the 2013 All-Star got off to a shaky start in his minor league rehab stint.

On Saturday, Mets pitcher Matt Harvey started a live baseball game for the first time in almost two months when he took the mound for the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones in their 6-2 loss to the Hudson Valley Renegades in Wappingers Falls.

Harvey, who underwent surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome in July 2016, has continued to face complications with his recovery.
