Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey, who hasn't stayed healthy this deep into a season since 2014, moved to a bullpen role beginning Friday night at Double-A Bowie. The change was made to keep his innings under control and possibly give him another path to the majors.
Harvey, the Orioles' 2013 first-round draft pick, pitched his way to the top of the farm system rankings in 2014, but dealt with injuries that kept him off the mound on any kind of regular basis since then. He said the goal hasn't changed in terms of wanting to get through this season healthy.
