Matt Harvey to rehab with Rumble Ponies on Monday

Matt Harvey's road back to the New York Mets' rotation will require a stop in Binghamton.

Harvey, placed on the disabled list in June for shoulder surgery, will appear in Binghamton's Eastern League baseball game against New Hampshire on Monday night at NYSEG Stadium, the Rumble Ponies announced on Twitter.

The 28-year-old righty has had a tumultuous 2017 season. Before the injury, Harvey amassed a 4-3 record with a 5.25 ERA in 13 starts. In May, Harvey was suspended three games for violating team rules.

Harvey made his first rehab start last week with the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones and allowed one run in one inning. He then went three scoreless innings in his second Brooklyn appearance on Wednesday night.

Harvey will join a Double-A team coming off back-to-back walk-off wins as the Rumble Ponies swept a Sunday doubleheader against the visiting Portland Sea Dogs.

Binghamton won the opener, 1-0, and took the second game, 4-3.

Sunday’s first game, a continuation of a Saturday game suspended by heavy rain, ended in the eighth inning when Luis Guillorme came home on a one-out double by Kevin Kaczmarski. Guillorme walked to set up the winning run.

Kaczmarksi doubled twice in a 2-for-3 effort for the Ponies (75-49), who got two scoreless innings of relief from winning pitcher Tim Peterson.

Matt Oberste scored the winning run in the second game, reaching home on a walk-off single by Kevin Taylor with two out in the seventh. Oberste’s RBI single earlier in the inning drove in Guillorme to make it 3-2, and Kaczmarksi made it home on a groundout by David Thompson to tie it.

After giving up three runs in the first inning, Binghamton starting pitcher Corey Oswalt went on to throw a complete game. He struck out five and allowed six hits.

Teddy Stankiewicz pitched 5 1/3 innings for the Sea Dogs (59-65), striking out seven and giving up one earned run.

In addition to welcoming Harvey on Monday, the Ponies will honor the Maine-Endwell Class A state champion softball team before opening their series against New Hampshire. Game time is 6:35 p.m. Monday.
