Matt Harvey missed mandatory workout, was stuck in traffic

Matt Harvey has put the innings cap drama behind him and is scheduled to pitch in the first round of the playoffs, but that does not mean the drama between him and the New York Mets has disappeared completely.

On Tuesday, Harvey failed to show up for a mandatory team workout after he supposedly got caught in traffic. Mets manager Terry Collins did not seem pleased.

Harvey told TC he got caught in tunnel traffic. TC said turn around. Not neccesarily an unexcused absence.

Let me rephrase: TC asked if that was an excused absence.
