Collects 28th hold Harvey recorded his 28th hold of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox, giving up a run on two hits over one inning while striking out two.

Impact The right-hander left Sunday's game due to lower-back spasms, but Harvey was back in action a couple days later. The Royals added another high-leverage arm at the trade deadline in Lucas Erceg, which likely puts another reliever between Harvey and save chances, but he should remain in a setup role.

Avoids serious injury Harvey reported improvement with his back Monday and is considered day-to-day, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Harvey had to be removed from Sunday's appearance against the Cubs with lower-back spasms. He has not been placed on the injured list and looks to have avoided a serious injury. Harvey has yielded one run with a 2:4 K:BB over 2.2 innings since coming over to the Royals in a trade.

Dealing with back spasms Harvey was diagnosed with left lower-back spasms after leaving Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Harvey looked uncomfortable before exiting the contest, as he walked two batters and threw just seven of 22 pitches for strikeouts in two-thirds of an inning. With closer James McArthur continuing to struggle, Harvey could miss a chance to secure the role if the injury forces him to miss any time.

Exits with apparent injury Harvey was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs due to an apparent injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander threw just seven of 22 pitches for strikes as he walked two battings in two-thirds of an inning before departing the contest in discomfort. It was Harvey third appearance since being acquired by the Royals, and his availability going forward is now unclear.

Grabs first hold with new team Harvey walked one and hit a batter in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn a hold in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact While the Royals failed to hold the lead, it wasn't Harvey's fault, as he protected a one-run advantage in the eighth inning. Harvey is in a high-leverage role following his trade from the Nationals, though he has yet to differentiate himself from the other middling late-inning options on Kansas City's roster. For the year, he has a 4.21 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 52:14 K:BB with no saves, 27 holds and two blown saves. James McArthur has functioned as the Royals' closer this year, but his continued struggles since May leave him on shaky ground, potentially opening the door for Harvey or other relievers like Chris Stratton, John Schreiber and Sam Long to get looks for saves as long as the team remains in the playoff hunt.

Dealt to Kansas City The Nationals traded Harvey to the Royals on Saturday in exchange for minor-league infielder Cayden Wallace.

Impact Harvey was excellent to start the 2024 season, recording a 2.15 ERA and 34 strikeouts across 29.1 innings before June, but has struggled since. He's surrendered a run in seven of 16 appearances since June 1, falling to a 8.04 ERA during that stretch. The 29-year-old has 26 holds this season and should settle into a low-leverage role with Kansas City.

Struggles continue Monday Harvey (2-4) took the loss Monday against the Mets, surrendering five runs (four earned) on three hits over two-thirds of an inning as the Nationals fell 9-7 in 10 innings.

Impact The final frame was a disaster for Harvey and the Nats -- after the right-hander hit Harrison Bader with a pitch, J.D. Martinez crushed a splitter over the heart of the plate for a three-run shot before extra-base hits by Tyrone Taylor and Francisco Alvarez chased Harvey from the game. The normally reliable set-up man has been tagged for eight earned runs in his last four appearances, and his ERA has more than doubled over the last month, going from 2.08 after an appearance June 2 to 4.24 following Monday's outing.

Racks up 16th hold Harvey gave up a hit and struck out three over 1.1 scoreless innings Wednesday to record his 16th hold of the season in a win over Atlanta.

Impact The 29-year-old righty is second in the majors in holds behind the Cardinals' JoJo Romero, who has 18. Harvey has stayed healthy so far in 2024 and produced dominant numbers with a 2.22 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB through 28.1 innings, but he has yet to pick up a save due to Kyle Finnegan also remaining sharp as the Nationals' closer.

Collects 10th save Harvey picked up the save Friday in Miami, allowing one hit and striking out one to preserve a 7-4 win.

Impact Kyle Finnegan could have been unavailable after throwing 31 pitches to notch a save Thursday versus the Yankees. Harvey was handed the ball and converted the save without a sweat, retiring three straight after a leadoff single. It's Harvey's 10th save of the season but his first since coming off the injured list earlier this month following an elbow injury. He's looked sharp, spinning seven scoreless frames with an 8:1 K:BB. Finnegan has also been terrific and is probably still the favorite for saves down the stretch, but Harvey has been the Nats' best reliever when healthy and might also be in the mix.

Picks up hold Thursday Harvey gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning Thursday to record his 12th save of the season in a win over the Red Sox.

Impact Making his second appearance since being activated from the injured list earlier in the week, Harvey handled setup duties while Kyle Finnegan continues to close for the Nationals. With Finnegan having converted eight straight save chances over the last month or so, Harvey may not work back into the ninth-inning mix down the stretch, but his 2.98 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB through 42.1 innings on the season still give him fantasy value in deeper formats.
