At 10 a.m. Wednesday, with a horde of reporters and cameramen on hand to note the moment, Matt Harvey emerged from the Mets’ dugout with his teammates for their final workout before the postseason begins.
For those who were wondering if Harvey could possibly miss a workout for a second straight day, the answer was no. He was on time, and the Mets took that as a signal to move past a story that created some uncomfortable headlines for him.
Manager Terry Collins tried using humor. He told reporters that Harvey, a 26-year-old right-hander, could afford the fine the Mets had levied against him for being absent the day before.
