ST. PETERSBURG -- Orioles top pitching prospect Hunter Harvey has been shut down again with right elbow discomfort and is slated to be re-evaluated by noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews sometime soon.
"Dr. Andrews is out of the country right now, so I'm not sure when that would be," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Harvey's appointment. Showalter also noted that there's a level of concern within the organization regarding Harvey, who felt something on the first day he was cleared to throw in the team's instructional league.
"Any time a guy has had that much time off and done the rehab and everything and there's discomfort, that's an issue," Showalter said of Harvey, who has yet to pitch this season.
