Harvey strains glute, out for a week and a half

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Right-hander Matt Harvey sustained a glute strain while participating in agility drills on Wednesday and will be out for roughly a week and a half, Angels manager Brad Ausmus said Thursday.

Harvey, who signed a one-year deal worth $11 million this past offseason, should have enough time to get ready for the start of the season but will be behind the other starters early in camp.

"You can recover from a week and a half," Ausmus said. "It's just about how he feels when we reevaluate him. He can recover."

Harvey's injury isn't considered serious and he's ready to show he still has something left, as the former Mets ace saw his velocity improve after joining the Reds last May.
