Hunter Harvey Shut Down With Elbow Tightness

Heard any good news about the Orioles lately? Let me lay a little more on you: O’s prospect Hunter Harvey is experiencing “elbow tightness,” and will be evaluated by team doctors.

Yeah. Hunter Harvey. One of the team’s top pitching prospects. The one whose development may have already hit a set-back when he took a come-backer off his shin in Spring Training.

That guy.

It’s too early to assume that he’s going to need Tommy John surgery, but this is certainly not a good sign. Harvey has been shut down from throwing in extended Spring Training, and will get an MRI today with team orthopedists.
