The New York Mets plan to give Matt Harvey an extra day of rest between his starts, a move that will be the center of how the map out their rotation.
"There's a real good shot we're going to let Matt have that extra day," Terry Collins said. "It's not finalized, but that might be in our best interests and his best interest, [Zack] Wheeler's best interest, as we're going into the last month of the season. But right now, we've got to find someone to pitch Friday, if that's the case. And if we don't come up with someone to pitch Friday, we may have to ask the big boy to go out there."
Harvey has logged 171 2/3 innings over 24 starts this season. The right-hander is 9-5 with a 2.38 ERA and 190 strikeouts.
