Silly me. I saw the headline that Harvey was hurt for the Orioles, and figured the Matt Harvey experiment had ended before it began.
I should have known what the headline was actually referring to was the same head-shaking scenario we’ve seen for some time now.
In case you missed it, Orioles reliever Hunter Harvey made it one pitch into his relief outing in Friday’s 6-2 loss to the Phillies before leaving with what was said to be a left oblique injury. On Monday, manager Brandon Hyde confirmed the injury while also saying that Harvey will definitely miss some time — a stretch that will in all likelihood take him through Opening Day and into the regular season.
