New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey could have his next turn in the rotation this weekend in Colorado skipped, according to ESPN New York. There is no injury reported for Harvey, but the Mets are planning to limit the innings of several of their young starting pitchers as the regular season winds down. "There's a chance we're going to have to do that," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "They will be OK to pitch that last weekend of the season and beyond. They will be ready to do that." New York has built a 4.5-game lead on the second-place Washington Nationals in the National League East, which could afford them a bit more leeway in terms of resting their starters. Steven Matz is expected to return from injury soon, at which point the team could return to the six-man rotation they used earlier this season. Harvey has been excellent overall, with 11 wins and a 2.57 ERA through 154 innings.

Just don't pull a Strasburg and shut him down for the playoffs.
