Harvey Will Wait 2-3 Weeks To Decide On Surgery 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Aug 27, 2013 11:50 am

While Matt Harvey is unlikely to pitch again for the New York Mets this season, the decision regarding Tommy John surgery is still a few weeks away.


Harvey has to wait 2-3 weeks for swelling to subside in order to determine if the extensive surgery is required for the partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow.


The right-hander expressed hope he could avoid surgery by strengthening the area around the ligament tear.


Harvey is 9-5 this season with a 2.27 ERA and 191 strikeouts.
