Mets’ Harvey feeling better, still on track for Game 5
Mets manager Terry Collins said on Wednesday that Matt Harvey‘s right triceps is feeling much better and intimated that Harvey remains on track to start Game 5 of the NLCS (if necessary) at Wrigley Field on Thursday night.
Harvey, who said on Monday that he would be all set for Game 5, is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday.
During his start in Game 1 of the NLCS, Harvey was struck in the triceps by a line drive but remained in the game and ultimately allowed two runs in 7.2 innings.
On Monday, Collins said that Harvey’s triceps was more sore and swollen than he expected and suggested there was doubt as to whether Harvey would be able to start Game 5.
