Matt Harvey claims he hasn’t felt this good in two years.
How good is good? The Mets right-hander says he threw freely and without discomfort between each of his minor-league rehab starts, something that wasn’t possible as he dealt with thoracic outlet syndrome in 2016 and a stress injury to his right scapula this year.
“Bullpens were becoming a task,” Harvey said. “And that is usually not how things go or should go, and trying to fight through that, it’s not easy.”
Harvey’s latest comeback will begin Saturday, when he is scheduled to pitch Game 1 of a split doubleheader in Houston.
