NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — In the final month of a lost season, the Mets will send former ace Matt Harvey to the mound on three days’ rest this week.
Manager Terry Collins said Monday that Harvey will start against the Phillies on Wednesday night at Citi Field. It’s a curious move considering Harvey just pitched Saturday, his first major league outing since going on the disabled list in June with a stress injury to the scapula bone in his right shoulder. In his return against the Astros, Harvey lasted just two innings, allowing seven runs on eight hits.
