The Royals will call up Matt Harvey, according to reporter Jon Heyman. The Royals had signed Harvey to a minor league contract pro-rated for $575,000 last month. The 31-year old right-hander was an All-Star with the Mets, with a 5.3 WAR season in 2013, finishing fourth in Cy Young voting. He is also known for coughing up a ninth inning lead in Game 5 of the 2015 World Series against the Royals, a game that became the series-deciding victory for Kansas City.
Harvey missed the entire 2014 season after Tommy John surgery but bounced back to have a very good 2015 season with 4.
