Hunter Harvey underwent Tommy John surgery in 2016, and the 27-year-old righty dealt with oblique and lat strains in 2021, so the Washington Nationals, who selected him off waivers this spring, were trying to handle the hard-throwing reliever carefully, even before injury concerns came up this week and he landed on the 10-Day IL.
Harvey felt something in his right arm earlier this week, and he spoke up to let his new club know he didn’t feel right, explaining to reporters he’d tried to pitch through a similar issue in the past and had caused more damage.
