The New York Mets announced Tuesday that they have reinstated pitcher Matt Harvey after he served a three-day suspension for failing to show up to Citi Field for Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins.
In a corresponding move, the team optioned left-handed pitcher Josh Smoker to its Triple-A affiliate, the Las Vegas 51s.
The Mets' decision to lift Harvey from the suspended list comes on the same day he apologized to the organization and his teammates at a press conference.
"I made a mistake and am doing everything I can to make sure it's something that never happens again," Harvey said, according to MLB.
