The situation between the Mets and starting pitcher Matt Harvey is not a simple one, but the right-hander will be back on the mound soon.

Mets manager Terry Collins announced Monday that Harvey will start Friday against the Brewers upon the conclusion of his three-day suspension without pay for failing to show up to Saturday's game. But that doesn't mean the drama will come to a close.

Harvery claimed he had a migraine, according to multiple news reports, and a miscommunication with the club led to all the subsequent commotion.

The Mets apparently did not buy the excuse because he was handed a harsh punishment, one that is uncommon in baseball. Things have been further complicated because Harvey, who last pitched May 2, reportedly plans to file a grievance against the Mets.

When addressing reporters Sunday, Collins hinted baseball wasn't Harvey’s “top priority” right now, leading to speculation of clubhouse strife.

Collins was evasive Monday when asked if he thinks Harvey is respected among his Mets teammates.

"I can't answer that," he said. "I don't know."

Harvey "needs to address some guys" before he returns to the mound, Collins added.

It's not as though the Mets have a crazy amount of depth in their rotation right now with Noah Syndergaard on the disabled list, so they obviously felt perturbed by Harvey's actions. The 28-year-old has been disappointing on the mound as well this season with a 5.14 ERA through his first six starts.
