Is It Time For the Mets To Put Matt Harvey on DL?

Mets starter Matt Harvey has hit a bump in the road after starting off the season 5-0. Last night against the Giants, he gave up 7 runs and blew a 4-2 lead. He also gave up 7 runs against the Pirates earlier this year. He has not had the same command of his fastball that showed earlier in the season. It's more straight and right over the middle of the plate. It's expected that Harvey was going to show rust after coming off Tommy John surgery and having not pitched for 18 months. I think it might be time for the Mets to put him on the DL and give him 15 days to rest his arm. This might help him later in the season and could allow him to stay fresh for the stretch run in August and September. I think this would make the sense and help the Mets long term.
