The Mets are on a historic hot streak, winning their past six games and 13 of their last 14 to storm back to a half-game out of a wild-card spot. Matt Harvey, meanwhile, is in California trying to climb out of the baseball abyss.

Harvey posted on his private Instagram account for the first time on Friday since he was released by the Angels in July. He posted a video of himself throwing a bullpen at a facility in Irvine, Calif., seemingly trying to get back on a MLB roster.

Harvey’s inability to stick with the Angels was the latest in a sad run of disappointments for the former Mets ace. At the time of his release, he had a 7.09 ERA in 12 starts, fifth worst among pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched to that point.

“The decision was made because we felt it would increase our chances of winning games,” Angels manager Brad Ausmus said at the time. “Matt was a very well-liked teammate. A guy everyone pulled for, including myself. But we’re in the business of winning games. And I talked to [general manager] Billy [Eppler] and we felt this was the best moving going forward to help us win games.”

Harvey never returned to his dominant form after a series of injuries with the Mets, most notably thoracic outlet syndrome in 2016. After his time in New York, Harvey posted a 4.50 ERA in 24 starts for the Reds before signing with the Angels in the offseason.

A few years ago, Harvey seemed like he’d be an integral part of any Mets postseason run for the foreseeable future. As the Mets get set to host the Nationals at Citi field, however, Harvey is unemployed.
