Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey was shut down again Tuesday after feeling soreness in his right elbow.
The Orioles hoped that Harvey, who hadn’t pitched in a game since June 1, would be able to pitch in the instructional league this month in Sarasota, Fla., and potentially in the fall league to somewhat salvage another injury-riddled season.
But instead, he’s heading to see a specialist to get further examination on the root of his lingering discomfort issues, according to an industry source.
The soreness comes about a month after Harvey was shut down while was progressing through a throwing program in Sarasota.
