Mets’ starter Matt Harvey, who underwent surgery in July for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, threw off of a mound at Storm Sports Academy on Long Island on Wednesday.
Harvey, 28 in March, said he felt no pain when throwing this offseason, when talking to reporters at a team charity event earlier this month.
The Mets and Harvey agreed to a one-year, $5.1 million deal to avoid salary arbitration this offseason. The pitcher can also earn up to $100,000 in performance bonuses.
Harvey pitched in only 17 games for the Mets in 2016 before going down in July and missing the remainder of the season.
However, Harvey says that the symptoms he was experiencing during 2016 are all gone.
“My hand was really cold all the time,” Harvey said. “I’ve got some warmth back. No more tingling and the ball’s really coming out really good right now.”
For his career, Harvey holds a 29-28 record, with a 2.94 ERA, 2.79 FIP and 9.1 K/9 in 519.2 innings pitched.
