New York Mets ace Matt Harvey has arrived at spring training, nearly two weeks ahead of the team's first official workout, and says he's willing to accept whatever innings limits the team chooses as he returns from elbow ligament-replacement surgery. He hasn't pitched in a game since Aug. 24, 2013, and is recovering from Tommy John surgery that Oct. 22. New York could delay the start of Harvey's season, give him extra days off between starts or a mandate a break during the season in an effort to limit his innings. Harvey threw off a mound last fall, took a break, then resumed in December in Newport Beach, California, at the training facility of his agent, Scott Boras.
