New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey has chosen not to have surgery immediately on his injured right elbow, reports ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin.

Harvey will attempt to rehab the partially torn ulnar collateral ligament for a month or two and then test the arm, Rubin reports. If his elbow hasn't progressed, he could need Tommy John surgery.

Harvey said last week that his arm "feels great."  The 24-year-old went on the disabled list in late August, but decided then to postpone surgery for at least three weeks.
