Matt Harvey intends to throw a baseball on Feb. 22 for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in October.
"They said I should be able to start throwing four months after the surgery, and that's Feb. 22," Harvey told the New York Post. "And I haven't had any setbacks. I can't wait. Even if it's 10 feet, I just want to pick up a ball. As if right now, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do that."
Harvey is expected to arrive in Port St. Lucie, Fla., with other pitchers by the Feb. 15 report date.
