From Rotoworld: In his first start since his team-imposed suspension, Harvey allowed five runs — including three home runs — over five-plus innings in a loss to the Brewers on Friday. Harvey labored through his first five innings of work while giving up two runs, but Mets manager Terry Collins sent him back out there for the sixth. The decision backfired in a big way, as Harvey allowed a leadoff infield single to Keon Broxton before giving up back-to-back homers to Eric Sogard and Orlando Arcia. Harvey struck out five and walked five in the loss and has now allowed 10 home runs in just 40 innings of work this season. He remains a work in progress coming back from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.
Corbin yielded four runs in six innings Friday in a victory over the Pirates. It still wasn’t Corbin’s best work, but it was plenty good enough with the offense busting out for 11 wins tonight. Corbin will get the Mets and White Sox in his next two starts. He remains worth playing in mixed leagues.
