Mets infielder Jose Reyes said Sunday that there was no excuse for teammate Matt Harvey to go MIA from a game the day before.
“Injuries are injuries. What happened to Harvey, that’s a different ballgame,” Reyes said without elaborating.
“You’re an employee, you have to understand you need to show up for your work. That’s the rules that the team has since spring training. As a grown man, you’ve got a job to do. You have to understand: If you don’t show up, you’re going to pay the consequence.”
Harvey claimed to Mets higher-ups that a “migraine” kept him from the game, Fox Sports reported.
