Mets RHP Matt Harvey thinks he has fixed a flaw in his delivery, which he adjusted prior to his start against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. "Looking at video from successful starts that I've had in the past, we found out that my arm slot was like six inches higher,'' Harvey said Sunday, according to Newsday. "Not this past start, but the previous ones. It kind of dated back to last year when I had some issues with my rib and I couldn't throw from my normal arm slot because of the injury." Harvey pitched 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five against the Diamondbacks.

Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard said he doesn't know when he will return to the mound, despite also saying his torn lat has improved since going on the disabled list earlier this month. "It's just a very specific injury," Syndergaard told the Daily News. "So, there's really no timetable." The Mets have not given any indication when Syndergaard will return from the disabled list, only noting that he won't throw for another few weeks.

The Mets are discussing replacing LHP Tommy Milone in the starting rotation, reports Mike Puma of the NY Post. RHP Tyler Pill is one of the pitchers the Mets are considering. Pill, 26, has a 1.96 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 14 walks in 46 innings (seven starts) this season for Triple-A Las Vegas.  Mets manager Terry Collins said on Sunday that Milone would likely get another start despite him giving up eight runs in 1 1/3 innings during Sunday's 12-5 loss to the Angels at Citi Field.
