Hunter Harvey, the Orioles’ second-ranked prospect, will get a second opinion on his injured right elbow next week from renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
At this point, the Orioles believe that Andrews will concur with the team doctors’ evaluation after reading a MRI on Wednesday: That Harvey will have to undergo a period of rest but should be able to pitch at some point later this year.
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said the team is considering the injury as a flexor mass strain in the right forearm and it will not need surgery.
