Matt Harvey will return from the disabled list to start Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros in Houston, the team recently announced.

In his last rehab start with Double-A Binghamton, Harvey hit only 93 mph with his fastball. However, he told reporters Wednesday that he isn't concerned -- his only focus is on getting outs.

"I think everybody is so worried about velocity, but's about getting hitters out. That is the biggest thing," he explained. "I feel like I have been around long enough and injured long enough to realize velocity isn't everything and getting people out and staying healthy is the most important thing.
