Adam Rubin of Espn New York, reported today that Mets general manager Sandy Alderson and manager Terry Collins are considering holding starting pitcher Matt Harvey's 2015 debut back to start the Mets home opener. The start would come on April 13th and it would be the seventh game of the season. (Adam Rubin on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Although Harvey will have had almost 18 months of recovery time from Tommy John surgery when the season starts, the plan is for the Mets to be extra cautious with their young ace. There has already been talk of a 180-200 innings limit for Harvey this season and pushing his start back would suggest that.
