Hunter Harvey - Page 10 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

In mix for saves Harvey remains behind Kyle Finnegan in the Nationals' bullpen pecking order for now, but he could see save chances if Finnegan gets shifted into a fireman role rather than being us...

Impact Finnegan still seems likely to see the majority of save chances for the Nationals this season, but there could be saves up for grabs if the right-hander gets the call earlier in games in tight situations. Harvey would be just one of many candidates who could benefit, with Alex Colome, Sean Doolittle (elbow), Carl Edwards and Mason Thompson also in the mix depending on matchups and performance. Harvey's arm talent has never been in question, only his ability to stay healthy enough to show it, but after posting a career-high 39.1 innings in 2022 with a 2.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 28.7 percent strikeout rate, he's looked good this spring and seems ready for a consistent high-leverage role.

Settles with Nationals Harvey signed a one-year contract with the Nationals on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Harvey managed to stay healthy enough to make 38 appearances for the Nats in 2022, collecting a 2.52 ERA and 45:12 K:BB over 39.1 innings. The 28-year-old remains a huge health risk, but he still has a big arm and could even close for Washington in 2023 as long as he's able to take the mound.

Recalled from Triple-A Harvey was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Harvey was optioned to Rochester on the final day of the first half, but he was brought back to take the spot of Tyler Clippard (groin) and will resume working out of the bullpen for the big club.

Heads to Triple-A The Nationals optioned Harvey to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Since he tossed an inning in relief in three of the past four days, Harvey was unlikely to be available for Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta, a game the Nationals are treating as a bullpen day. With that in mind, the Nationals opted to replace Harvey on the 26-man active roster with Cory Abbott, who will be available as a multi-inning relief option after getting a call-up from Rochester.

JULY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back from IL The Nationals reinstated Harvey (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Washington optioned right-hander Joan Adon to Triple-A Rochester and transferred right-hander Jackson Tetreault (shoulder) from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL to clear room on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster for Harvey, who is back with the big club for the first time since late April. After a two-plus-month absence due to a right forearm strain, Harvey was cleared to rejoin the big-league bullpen after striking out four across 2.2 scoreless innings over his three minor-league rehab appearances.

JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab moving to Triple-A Harvey (forearm) will report to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday to continue his minor-league rehab assignment, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Harvey began his rehab assignment last week with the Nationals' rookie-level Florida Coast League affiliate, and he's now ready to move up to Triple-A. The right-hander has been on the injured list with a pronator strain in his right arm since April 21, so he'll likely require a handful of outings with Rochester to get back up to speed.

JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Begins rehab assignment Harvey (forearm) began a rehab assignment at the Nationals' rookie-level Florida Coast League affiliate Monday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Harvey threw 19 pitches during Monday's outing and struck out two in a perfect inning. The Nationals plan for the right-hander to make one more appearance in the Florida Coast League before progressing to the Double-A or Triple-A level.

JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to 60-day IL The Nationals transferred Harvey (forearm) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Impact Harvey had been on the shelf since April 21 with a right forearm strain and wasn't on track to return for at least another week, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. The right-hander resumed throwing off a mound in late May and could soon be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment that will likely consist of several relief appearances.

Resumes mound work Harvey (forearm) has resumed throwing bullpen sessions, Byron Kerr of MLB.com

Impact Harvey has been throwing at the Nationals' extended spring training facility, and he's built up to 20 pitches during his bullpen sessions. The right-hander will continue to build up before he's cleared to face live hitters, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action.

MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still not throwing Harvey (forearm) hasn't yet been cleared to resume throwing, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Harvey has been participating in workouts since late April, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to throw. The right-hander has been on the injured list since April 21, so he'll likely need some time to ramp up his intensity once he's ultimately cleared for throwing sessions.

Cleared for workouts Manager Dave Martinez said Wednesday that Harvey (forearm) has been cleared to resume workouts, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Although Harvey has been working out recently, he hasn't yet been cleared to resume throwing. He's been on the injured list for just under a week due to a pronator strain in his right arm, but he's downplayed the severity of the injury since landing on the IL. A timetable for his return to game action should come into focus once he begins a throwing program.

Hopes to resume throwing soon Harvey (forearm) said Friday that he hopes to resume throwing in a few days, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Harvey was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a pronator strain in his right arm, but he compared the issue to a cramp and said that it isn't painful. However, he said that he encountered more serious injuries when pitching through similar issues in the past, so he's been shut down as a precautionary measure. As long as Harvey is able to resume throwing soon, he'll likely have a chance to return following a brief absence.

Nationals place pitcher Hunter Harvey on 10-day injured list

The Washington Nationals have placed reliever Hunter Harvey on the 10-day injured list with a right pronator strain and promoted right-hander Erasmo Ramírez from Triple-A Rochester

APRIL 21, 2022 • Associated Press

Heads to injured list Harvey landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a pronator strain in his right arm, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Harvey simply hasn't been able to stay healthy throughout his career, and he was unable to even make to the end of April before hitting the injured list yet again. He's pitched well in his four appearances for the Nationals, throwing 2.2 scoreless innings with three strikeouts, one walk and one hit, but it could be a while before he pitches again. He'll be out until the start of May at a minimum but could miss at least several more weeks. The Nationals have yet to specify when he's expected to return.

APRIL 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining big-league bullpen Harvey was recalled by the Nationals on Sunday.

Impact Harvey was unable to secure a roster spot out of spring training after joining the Nationals on March 21. However, with Mason Thompson (arm) hitting the injured list, the team has a need in its bullpen. Harvey is not likely to immediately contend for saves, though he could move his way towards the role with multiple strong outings.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors Washington optioned Harvey to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Harvey, a 2013 first-round draft pick, is likely one of the top arms in the Washington bullpen from a talent standpoint, but myriad injury concerns have limited him to fewer than 35 regular-season innings pitched in six of the last seven campaigns. After he was tending to a triceps injury earlier this spring before being waived by the Giants and subsequently claimed by the Nationals, Harvey looks to be healthy again, but Washington may want him to get some more appearances under his belt at Triple-A before considering him as an option for the big-league bullpen. The Nationals' closer picture looks unsettled at the moment, so Harvey could factor into the mix at some point if health prevails and if he's able to make bats miss at the prolific rate he did during his brief stint with Baltimore at the tail end of the 2019 season.
