[外電] Matt Harvey leaves with tight back
NEW YORK -- New York Mets ace Matt Harvey said he's fine and will make his
next scheduled start after leaving Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins
with lower-back tightness in his right side.
Harvey覺得他OK，下次先發應該是沒有問題的
"It's fine now," Harvey said. "I think it was after the last pitch in the
seventh I kind of felt a little tightness kind of in my lower back, right on
the hip area. It was a matter of a little alignment in the hips and as soon
as I came in and they worked on it, it kind of popped right back into place."
Harvey believes the tightness flared up after he struck out Rob Brantly to
end the seventh inning. He felt it during his at-bat in the seventh, when he
singled to center, and hoped it would loosen up and his hips would pop back
into place, but that didn't ocurr. According to Mets manager Terry Collins,
while Harvey was at first base, he told first-base coach Tom Goodwin that his
back was stiff.

The pitcher walked out to the mound to start the eighth inning and was
followed by Collins and trainer Brian Chicklo. After a quick discussion on
the mound, Collins elected to take Harvey out of the game. When Harvey
arrived in the dugout, he pointed to his lower back to pitching coach Dan
Warthen.
"I was fine to pitch, I could have stayed out there but obviously, I'm
risking more injury and that wouldn't be good," Harvey said. "I'm ready to go
for my next start, whether that's Thursday or Friday."
Collins said if he knew that Harvey had that pain, he might not have let him
hit in the seventh inning.
"As soon as I heard that, that's a red flag," said Collins, who added the
team will take every precaution necessary. "My goodness gracious, if there's
one (player) certainly we don't need hurt it's Matt Harvey. He said he didn't
know if it was his hip or his back. It was getting a little tight, it
loosened up a little as he warmed up and I said 'I'm sorry, that will be
enough for tonight.' He only had one more inning to go anyway."
Harvey said he's dealt with this issue before in college when he pitched for
North Carolina, and it involves the hips getting out of line. He said it took
little time for the team's trainers to help him get his body right. He did
not undergo any tests after the game, and described the tightness as a "minor
thing."
"Even when it came out and they worked on it in the eighth inning it was two
minutes and it was back," Harvey said. "Obviously, it's frustrating knowing
that an adjustment like that can be made that quickly."
He added: "Sometimes it happens. Unfortunately, it happened now. It hasn't
happened for a while now. We know what we need to prevent that."
In what turned out to a 20-inning game, Harvey left with the game tied at
1-1. He gave up six hits and struck out six as he recorded a no-decision, his
fourth in a row and eighth in his past nine outings. Surprisingly, the lowly
Marlins have given Harvey fits this year as he entered the game with a 4.35
ERA against them in two starts. Saturday, he had much better luck, although
he lamented that one run.
"Obviously, I'm frustrated with the run because if I didn't (yield it) then
the game would have been over a long time ago," Harvey said. "It was a tough
loss for all of us."
Harvey's next start lines up to be Thursday against St. Louis, but the team
easily could push him back to Friday against the Cubs to give him an extra
day of rest. Fellow starter Shaun Marcum pitched eight innings in relief on
Saturday and he could pitch on normal rest Thursday as well.
Harvey下次先發預定是對上紅鳥，不過球隊可能讓他多休一天去對上小熊
