Mets' Matt Harvey: Begins throwing after surgery

Harvey (shoulder) began throwing Monday for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair his thoracic outlet syndrome, Adam Rubin of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

This marks an important step in Harvey's rehab from July 18 shoulder surgery. He will likely look to elongate his throwing distance as the next phase of his rehab. It's currently uncertain whether the former All-Star will be ready for the start of spring training in February.
