Harvey is currently scheduled to start Tuesday against Washington, make one more regular-season start at some point after that, then be available if needed against the Nationals in the final series of the year, with the intention of preserving him to pitch in the postseason, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the latest compromise between the Mets, Harvey and Scott Boras to keep Harvey at 180 innings, but have him available for the postseason. The Mets are going with a six-man rotation, meaning that Logan Verrett will likely slot in for Harvey two or three times.
