Matt Harvey Injury Update: Mets SP Reveals He Had Blood Clots in Bladder

New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey had blood clots in his bladder, which forced him to get scratched from a spring training start, but they have now passed.

Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reported it is not considered serious. Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News noted Mets general manager Sandy Alderson stated Monday that Harvey's availability for Opening Day was in question while he worked through the medical issue.

DiComo said Harvey expects he'll be "completely fine" to kick off the season Sunday night in a World Series rematch with the Kansas City Royals.
