TORONTO -- Hunter Harvey will likely be shut down for the remainder of the season with a right elbow injury. The Orioles will continue with further tests, but manager Buck Showalter is pessimistic that the team's eighth-ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, will pitch again this season.
"[Harvey]'s had some elbow discomfort they didn't like in his last throw session," Showalter said. "We felt like by this time that if he was healthy, he'd be pitching potentially for us, so that's been a kick in the pants."
Harvey has thrown just 63 2/3 innings since 2015, when he missed the entire season after being struck by a line drive in Spring Training.
