PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Pitcher Matt Harvey walked into the Mets’ clubhouse here Tuesday morning, his head held high, as if nothing were wrong. The Mets had announced the day before that he was dealing with an unspecified, non-baseball-related ailment, and now the only physical sign that something had been amiss was the red hospital band around his wrist.
Harvey met with the news media and explained that he had had a blood clot in his bladder, that he passed it Monday and that he had undergone a minor procedure Tuesday to check out the bladder just in case.
