Matt Harvey Leaves Game vs. Phillies with Hamstring Injury

New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey left Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with a tight left hamstring, per Wayne Randazzo of WOR 710.

James Wagner of the New York Times provided details: "Mets trainer Ray Ramirez out to see Harvey, who appears to be flexing his left knee after covering first. He's coming out of the game."

After the Mets' 14-4 win, manager Terry Collins relayed that Harvey "said he feels fine," per Wagner. Harvey expects to make his next start, per Marc Carig of Newsday.

Harvey made 17 starts in 2016, but he was ultimately shut down for the season last July after he had surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome after the condition reportedly caused nerve compression that resulted in the loss of feeling in his fingers and weakness in his throwing arm. 

The 28-year-old was then hampered by some neck stiffness at the start of spring training, but he shook off the discomfort and proceeded to stitch together a productive preseason.

He allowed two earned runs in his first start of the 2017 season and two more Tuesday before being removed after 5.2 innings.

If the 2015 National League Comeback Player of the Year is forced to miss starts, the Mets can take solace in the fact that they have the likes of Robert Gsellman at their disposal to hold down the fort alongside Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom.
