"You have to ask Matt," Alderson said when pressed for
Harvey's whereabouts at the start of the workout.
Harvey, the right-handed starter who had a late-season rift with
the team over limiting his innings to preserve his surgically

stuck in traffic and claimed he apologized to teammates for not
being there.

just 65 hits short of reaching 3,000 for his major-league
career.

pitching. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
