• The Mets return to Tradition Field tomorrow afternoon to face the Miami Marlins with a 1:10 pm et start time. The game can be seen on SNY.

• Matt Harvey was scheduled to start tomorrow afternoon for the Mets but has been scratched by manager Terry Collins. Harvey was the only player who missed today’s trip to Jupiter as he was visiting a doctor. The doctor he was visiting was not an orthopedic doctor which is good news. I will update you as soon as I know more information. The Marlins have not provided a starting pitcher for tomorrow’s afternoon contest.
