Angels' Matt Harvey Placed on 10-Day IL After Back Injury Diagnosed as Strain

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Matt Harvey is once again on the shelf, as the righty landed on the 10-day injured list with a back injury Saturday.

The team announced the move after the 30-year-old was diagnosed with a strained upper back.

Harvey's move to the IL comes two days after he tied his season high by allowing eight earned runs and four home runs in 2.2 innings to the Minnesota Twins.

It's just the latest setback in what has been a rapid descent from stardom over the last four years.
