The right-hander returned to the mound on Saturday and was promptly lit up giving up seven runs in only two innings of work. Harvey was on a pitch limit of 80 but the two innings worked were the shortest of his career.
Terry Collins announced today that Harvey will pitch Wednesday against the Phillies on short rest with Seth Lugo pitching on Thursday. Collins said Harvey wanted to “get back on the mound as soon as possible.”
The Mets currently sit at 58 -78, 20 games under .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2009.
