BALTIMORE -- Orioles right-hander Hunter Harvey, ranked as their No. 1 prospect by MLBPipeline.com, has been shut down and will see a specialist as he continues to be bothered by a groin injury.

Harvey first experienced the issue in late March and the O's were extremely cautious in bringing him back to ensure he wouldn't reinjure himself or alter his mechanics. But the issue hasn't resolved itself and Harvey came in on Friday, after pitching on Thursday in extended spring, with the same sort of symptoms.

"I think we know ... I think we know where they're going," manager Buck Showalter said.
