ALL CLEAR

After a brief scare, New York Mets ace Matt Harvey is still on track to start Sunday night’s opener at Kansas City after passing a blood clot in his bladder. “Passed it yesterday,” Harvey said. “It wasn’t a great first day of my 27th birthday, but I cleared that and we had a little procedure done this morning just to go in and check the bladder, and everything was clear. I’m cleared to go, cleared to do some minor activities today, and then we’ll be back to normal tomorrow.”
