Stephen Strasburg has some advice for young New York Mets ace Matt Harvey:
When it comes to recovery from Tommy John surgery, Harvey should take it slow.
"I learned the hard way," Strasburg told The New York Post on Sunday.
Strasburg had reconstructive surgery after blowing out his pitching elbow near the end of his rookie season with the Washington Nationals in 2010. He returned to make five starts at the end of the 2011 season.
Harvey, who had surgery Oct. 22, is likely to miss the 2014 season.
The Nationals ace said taking the recovery day-by-day is not necessarily the best idea.
"It can flip on you," Strasburg told the Post. "You'll feel great one day, and the next day it's terrible. The best advice I got was, 'Look where you were at the start of the month and then at the end of the month. Don't look at where you were yesterday.'"
