When 2018 spring training got under way, you might have gotten the impression from what the Orioles were saying and what they refused to deny that Hunter Harvey, then the top pitching prospect in the system, might break camp with the team. A lot has happened since then, with Harvey suffering a setback during the recovery from his most recent injury.
The Baltimore Sun’s Eduardo Encina reported on Tuesday night that Harvey, who was on the mend from the shoulder injury he suffered while trying to dodge a foul ball that went into the dugout for Double-A Bowie, has now experienced elbow discomfort and has had that rehab throwing program stopped.
