New York Mets suspend pitcher Matt Harvey 3 games for unnamed rules violation

The New York Mets suspended right-hander Matt Harvey three games without pay for violating team rules.

General manager Sandy Alderson announced the team's decision at a press conference Sunday morning but did not reveal details of Harvey's infraction.

Manager Terry Collins also would not discuss what triggered Harvey's suspension.

"We'll keep it in-house, the way it's supposed to be," Collins told reporters Sunday.

"There's things with this job that certainly are internal that the public can't see, and how hard it is, and this one's a tough one. So we hope to put it behind us and move forward."

Harvey was scheduled to start Sunday afternoon's home game at Citi Field against the Miami Marlins.

The Mets recalled Adam Wilk from Triple-A Las Vegas to start in Harvey's place.

The 28-year-old Harvey is 2-2 with a 5.14 ERA over 35 innings in six starts this season. He came back from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome that ended his season in 2016 when he made only 17 starts, going 4-10 with a 4.86 ERA.
