With Mets starting pitcher Jenrry Mejia (elbow) landing on the disabled list Sunday, the team has an opening in its rotation for Friday against the Tigers. Mets manager Terry Collins said he hasn't named a replacement in the rotation for Mejia, but Friday's options include starting Matt Harvey on regular rest or giving Carlos Torres a spot start.
Though, Collins said letting Harvey pitch on regular rest means potentially shutting him down earlier than expected.
"More we pitch him now, less we're going to see him in September," Collins said.
