The Mets rotation, had a spot become available earlier this week, with the very unfortunate injury suffered by Dillon Gee. Gee was hospitalized earlier this week, and underwent surgery to repair a blood-clot in his throwing shoulder.
The spot in the Mets rotation, a rotation that for the most part has been very solid this season, is now up for grabs. Mets manager Terry Collins, has said that Miguel Batista could make the start, while not ruling out Matt Harvey for the spot. The Mets are very weary of "rushing" Harvey to the Majors, however, Bison's manager Wally Backman has said that Harvey could be ready for the call, right now.
Matt Harvey with the Buffalo Bisons.
Thus far, over 18 starts, Harvey is 7-4 with a 3.39 ERA, with 102 Ks over 98 Innings. In 2 seasons in the minors, Harvey is 20-9 with a 3.35 ERA, over 44 starts. Harvey was drafted 7th overall by the Mets in 2010, in what would be Omar Minay's final draft class, as General Manager.
Harvey was also selected for the Triple-A All Star Game, in which he pitched in relief, and threw 2 hit-less innings.
Harvey makes this crucial start tonight, at 7pm on SNY, as his Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, take on the Detroit Tigers affiliate, Toldeo Mud Hens.
With the Mets off today, all eyes will be on Matt Harvey, and if successful tonight, his next start could very well be for the New York Mets.
