WASHINGTON -- As the parties scrambled to reach a compromise in the saga of Matt Harvey's innings limit, questions remain about the extent of the pitcher's availability to pitch in the playoffs, despite his declaration that he will be ready to go.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson indicated that Harvey will pitch on Tuesday and will likely be available for two more regular season starts. From there, the Mets will evaluate Harvey's postseason availability, based on his physical condition.
"I can't sit here and say he's going to be available through the entire playoffs because we don't know how he will feel and what all of the considerations are at that time," Alderson said on Monday before the first game of a key three-game series against the Nationals.
