PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- At first blush, Terry Collins said, the news on Matt Harvey sent "shivers through your skin." The Mets feared the worst, but have since exhaled: Harvey is fine, and will start on Opening Night after all.
Shortly after scratching him from his final spring start (Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Marlins), Mets doctors diagnosed Harvey with a blood clot in his bladder, which he passed late Monday without issue. Harvey returned to Mets camp one day later with an eye toward imminently resuming baseball activities.
"Everything feels great," Harvey said.
