Mets' Matt Harvey: Neck improving

Harvey said his neck felt better Monday, although it was still a little tight, and he has no intention of missing his next scheduled spring start Friday, The New York Daily News reports. "I should be good to go," Harvey said.

The 27-year-old also noted that he needs to be cautious about overdoing things. "After you've had two surgeries you want to do everything you can to stay on the field and I think I've definitely realized that I need to put a lot more effort in before you go out there and just throw and just run," Harvey said. "You have to take care of your body better and I think that's definitely changed from this year since last." While his velocity was down Sunday, topping out at 94 mph, Harvey attributed that to some mechanical tweaks he needs to make, not the health of his arm or neck. Until he proves he can reach the high 90s again, though, any fantasy expectations for Harvey need to be kept in check.
