Harvey will make his next start Thursday against the Reds, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets had initially planned to pitch Harvey on short rest Wednesday, but have now decided to bump him back a day due to the poor weather that's expected to arrive Wednesday. The team has not announced who will start Wednesday's contest.

Harvey will start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is somewhat surprising, seeing as Harvey lasted just two innings in his first start in two and a half months following shoulder surgery. However, Harvey was able to toss 70 pitches in his return outing, apparently giving manager Terry Collins enough confidence to send him out for his next start on short rest. While the 28-year-old lines up against a much easier Phillies side in his second start back from the DL, he should still be viewed as a risky play until he proves otherwise.

Harvey (4-4) allowed seven runs on eight hits while striking out three batters through just two innings during Saturday's loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
This was Harvey's first start since June 14, and while it's easy to focus on the negatives, Houston is a daunting opponent, and the Astros also had a lot of off-field motivation to rise to the occasion at Minute Maid Park on Saturday. Still, Harvey now sports a 5.97 ERA and 1.52 WHIP for the campaign, and he should be viewed as a risky start in all fantasy settings until proven otherwise. He lines up to face the Phillies at Citi Field in his next outing.

Harvey (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day DL prior to Saturday's start against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey takes the mound during Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader after spending the last two and a half months on the disabled list with a stress injury of the scapula bone in his right shoulder. He was able to throw 72 pitches during his latest rehab start for Double-A Binghamton last Saturday, which marked his fourth such outing in the past month. Although there hasn't been any word on whether manager Terry Collins will administer a pitch count on Harvey for Saturday's start, it seems likely that he'll be closely monitored.

Harvey (shoulder) will start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey built up to 72 pitches in his final rehab start, but he was a little too hittable during his time with Double-A Binghamton (nine hits, one homer over 7.2 innings), and he's expected to be limited to around 80 pitches in his first big-league start since June 14. Given the pitch count and matchup, most will want to hold off on deploying the former All-Star.

Harvey (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, the final hurdle before being activated from the DL and rejoining the Mets rotation Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
His last rehab start Saturday didn't exactly go well, as Harvey gave up five runs (three earned) over four innings while striking out only two for Double-A Binghamton, but the Mets were comfortable enough with what they saw to add the right-hander back to the roster. Harvey's been a shadow of his former self in 2017, posting a 5.25 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 6.9 K/9 and 2.0 HR/9 through 13 big-league starts.

The Mets are tentatively planning to have Harvey (shoulder) come off the 10-day disabled list to start Friday's game against the Astros, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey completed his fourth rehab start Saturday with Double-A Binghamton, tossing 72 pitches over 4.2 innings and conceding five runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk. It was far from the dominant outing that the Mets would liked to have seen from the right-hander, but the fact that his shoulder checking out pain free following the start is the more important development. If Harvey does indeed take the hill Friday for the Mets, he'd likely assume the rotation spot of Tommy Milone.

Harvey will make a rehab start for Double-A Binghamton on Saturday due to expected bad weather in Florida, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The elements forced the Mets to push Harvey up to face stronger competition, as he was initially slated to throw for High-A St. Lucie. The right-hander probably will join the big-league club sometime after rosters expand on Sept. 1, but his questionable health and erratic performance should keep expectations tepid in fantasy leagues.

Harvey (shoulder) will make his next rehab start Saturday with High-A St. Lucie, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Harvey tossed 53 pitches in the third outing of his rehab assignment Monday with Double-A Binghamton, the expectation is that he'll increase his pitch count Saturday, though the Mets haven't officially revealed their number for the right-hander. Harvey's fastball has yet to consistently hit the mid-90s during his rehab assignment, so the Mets would probably like to see him make some gains in velocity before he's activated from the 10-day disabled list, likely in early September. If that timeline holds, Harvey would presumably make another rehab start beyond Saturday's before rejoining the Mets when rosters expand.

The Mets hope to activate Harvey (shoulder) from the 10-day disabled list in early September, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey's statistical results over his three minor-league rehab appearances have been acceptable (3.86 ERA, 6:2 K:BB over seven innings), but his fastball velocity has hovered around the high 80s and low 90s in those outings, well below the 93-to-94 mile-per-hour range he had been hitting prior to landing on the DL. In addition to having Harvey work deeper into games, the Mets likely want to see him gain a couple ticks before turning his loose against major-league hitters. He'll look to toss 80 to 85 pitches in his next rehab outing, which should come over the weekend with Double-A Binghamton or Triple-A Las Vegas.
