HBT: Mets may ease off Harvey in second half

MLB.com?s Anthony DiComo and Chris Iseman report that Mets manager Terry Collins has spoken with GM Sandy Alderson about ace starter Matt Harvey?s workload, discussing the possibility of taking it easy with the right-hander over the final three months. The article notes that Harvey is on pace to throw 249 innings, well above the combined 169.1 innings logged last year between Triple-A Buffalo and the Majors.

More from the article:

?As we continue into the season with three months to go, always remember something: we are not ? we are not ? going to hinder this kid?s health by killing him now, when the future is so bright,? Collins said. ?With Wheeler coming, with Montero coming, all these young prospect pitchers coming, we?re not going to jeopardize what?s down the road for right now. I?m not going to do it. So we?re going to monitor his workload, and hopefully he gets through the month of September.?

Harvey is enjoying a fantastic season, emerging as one of baseball?s best starting pitchers. He currently leads the National League in ERA (2.00), adjusted ERA (181), strikeouts (132), strikeout rate per nine innings (10.2), and WHIP (0.855).
