Harvey ran his fastball up to 96 mph during his two-inning stint Wednesday against the Braves, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the velocity is good to see, Harvey also showed better command than he had last season, striking out two Atlanta hitters by painting the outside corner. The 28-year-old is trying to rebuild his career following surgery to correct thoracic outlet syndrome, something that no pitcher to date has been able to fully accomplish, but if Harvey can even come close to his pre-2016 form he'll provide a huge boost to the Mets rotation, and to fantasy staffs.

Harvey will start Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's outing will mark Harvey's spring debut for the season. While Harvey is in full health, his focus will be on ensuring his mechanics are properly dialed in. Harvey underwent surgery to repair thoracic outlet syndrome in 2016, which resulted in him altering his leg movements in an attempt to generate more power last season. His attempts proved to be ineffective, as his average fastball velocity fell from 94.5 MPH to 93.8 MPH, and his ERA and WHIP reached career-high levels of 6.70 and 1.69, respectively.

Harvey signed a one-year, $5.625 million contract with the Mets on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey was limited to just 18 starts this past season as he was hampered by a nagging shoulder injury. In his 92.2 innings of work, the former ace posted a career-worst 6.70 ERA and a similarly disappointing 4.6 percent K-BB%. Harvey will get another crack in the Mets' starting rotation in 2018, but he'll need to piece together quite the turnaround in order to salvage any fantasy value. The 28-year-old isn't worth investing in outside of the deepest formats.

Harvey (5-7) took the loss Friday against the Phillies. He allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey's rocky, injury-plagued season came to a close Friday in what was his fourth consecutive start in which he was unable to work past the fourth inning. The 28-year-old will wrap up the month of September having allowed 28 earned runs over six starts spanning a total of 22.1 innings (roughly 3.2 innings per start). Two years removed from posting a 2.71 ERA during the Mets' World Series runner-up campaign, Harvey will conclude the 2017 season with a dreadful 6.70 ERA. His fantasy outlook heading into the offseason is especially bleak and he'll likely serve as no more than a late-round flier in deeper fantasy formats in 2018 drafts.

The Mets will tender Harvey a contract for 2018, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Harvey owns an unsightly 11.78 ERA and 10:9 K:BB in 18.1 innings (five appearances) since returning from the disabled list at the beginning of September, the Mets still see value in him for next season. According to Heyman, he's expected to make a similar figure to his $5.12 2017 salary, a price at which the Mets view him as cost-efficient. Harvey struggled to a 6.60 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 88.2 innings while battling multiple injuries this season, but at the end of the day, the Mets decided they would rather spend one more year trying to fix him instead of watching him flee and thriving with another team. While New York is optimistic about the former ace bouncing back next season, he'll head into 2018 as one of the more volatile fantasy players given his struggles over the previous two seasons.

Harvey will replace Noah Syndergaard (lat) in the second inning of Saturday's contest against the Nationals, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Instead of earning the "start," Harvey will enter the game in the second inning following Syndergaard's first game back on the mound since April. Besides this slight abnormality, everything else should go on as planned for Harvey, who is coming off a rough start against the Marlins on Monday. During his four September outings, Harvey has posted a 13.19 ERA and 2.72 WHIP in 14.1 innings of work.

General manager Sandy Alderson said the Mets plan on tendering a contract to Harvey in 2018, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Puma threw out a guess of a $6 million arbitration figure in Harvey's final year of that system. That may seem like a lot, considering he holds a 13.19 ERA in the four starts since returning from the disabled list, but the Mets seem more willing to spend one more year trying to fix him instead of seeing him flee and thriving with another organization. The former ace's tumultuous season, in which he's dealt with recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery and a stress injury in his scapula, positions him as one of the most volatile fantasy players heading into next year, considering his offseason and spring news may swing his draft-day price wildly for either better or worse than the risk-reward cost in 2017.

Harvey (5-6) allowed seven runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out two batters through four innings to take the loss against Miami on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey has now surrendered 21 runs through 14.1 innings through four September starts. However, what is perhaps even more concerning is that he's only struck out eight batters and allowed 32 hits during that four-game stretch. It's difficult to view Harvey as a viable fantasy option in any setting entering his next projected start against Washington at Citi Field.

Harvey (5-5) gave up five runs on seven hits and four walks over just 3.1 innings Wednesday, earning him a loss at the hands of the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

This was a rough day for the Mets' pitching staff in general, so it could have been worse for Harvey -- after all, the Mets gave up 17 runs in all and six of his baserunners got stranded. Nonetheless, Harvey's three outings since returning have offered no encouragement for fantasy owners, so it's best to leave him to the wire in single-season formats. The righty's next start is scheduled for Monday in Miami.

Harvey (5-4) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out a single batter through five innings during Thursday's win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy owners that have stuck by Harvey will take the win, but this was another mediocre showing. With a 5.82 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 6.8 K/9 through 15 starts this season, there is likely still more risk than upside at this stage of the game. Harvey lines up to face the Cubs at Wrigley Field in his next start.
