WASHINGTON (AP) New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson expects that Matt Harvey won’t pitch beyond 180 innings in the regular season unless needed in the final series in early October.
As for the postseason, Harvey’s availability will depend partly on how he’s used down the stretch for the NL East leaders. Anderson said Monday the plan is not set because he has yet to speak with Harvey’s agent, Scott Boras.
Alderson said he has spoken to surgeon James Andrews and Harvey. The right-hander has pitched 166 1-3 innings in his first season since Tommy John surgery.
On Saturday, Harvey said Andrews advised him not to pitch beyond 180 innings, putting his postseason availability in doubt. On Sunday, Harvey wrote on The Players’ Tribune website he would definitely pitch in the postseason.
