The Mets are being weirdly cryptic about the whole affair, saying that while it is "not major" [looks cautiously up at graphic], that they are not at liberty to discuss what is currently ailing their ace.@AnthonyDiComo #shadymets pic.twitter.com/dBYAB3r1Bg

Collins again emphasize it's not an arm issue with Harvey. Says he is not at liberty to disclose ailment.

So we don't know the ailment, but there are tests. There are always tests.Harvey is still in Florida, according to Alderson. Possible he will travel to NY, depending on results of tests.

Person with knowledge of Harvey's situation says this isn't major.

[Is now staring daggers into graphic above.]But, still, it could be something temporary, right? Maybe the Mets could voluntarily float that maaaaybe Matt had too much sauce the night before and they thought he was hungover—you never know with this guy, right?—before deciding it was actually a legitimate issue?By not major, the person meant something that will necessitate a long lay off.

Ah, that's the stuff. If you recall, there was a minor panic at the beginning of the playoffs last season because Harvey missed a mandatory workout at Citi Field because of traffic. Obviously, the New York tabs had reports that he was out boozing the night before and overslept. Whatever's going on, at least we can safely assume, as always, that we know more than the Mets.Mets were suspicious at first that Harvey wasn't feeling well the day after his birthday, but now are satisfied it's a different situation.
