  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Throws bullpen session

    Harvey (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Harvey was shut down for a bit after experiencing a setback with his back injury, but he's made enough progress to resume throwing. The reliever has missed nearly a month of action and might require a rehab appearance or two before rejoining the Royals bullpen.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Suffers setback

    Harvey (back) suffered a setback in his recovery Tuesday and will be shut down from all activity for the next 2-to-3 days, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Harvey received a cortisone injection Tuesday to help his back recover, and manager Matt Quatraro estimates that the 29-year-old reliever will be back to playing catch before the end of the week. He had been looking to rejoin the Royals' bullpen before the end of the month, though his setback will likely push his return into September.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Close to mound work

    Harvey (back) is progressing well and hopes to be clear to throw a bullpen session in the coming days, Jaylon Thompson of the Kansas City Star reports.

    Harvey hasn't made an appearance since Aug. 4 because of mid-back tightness, an injury that he initially suffered in late July. The right-handed reliever looks to be trending in the right direction and should have a shot to return before the end of the month if all goes well. Harvey is part of the late-inning mix in Kansas City.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Lands on injured list

    The Royals placed Harvey on the 15-day injured list Saturday with mid-back tightness.

    Manager Matt Quatraro revealed after Friday's game that back tightness is the reason Harvey hasn't made an appearance since Sunday, and the 29-year-old righty will now officially be sidelined until at least Aug. 23. Lucas Erceg and James McArthur figure to be the leading candidates for saves while Harvey is out, and the Royals will bring up Carlos Hernandez from Triple-A Omaha to replenish their bullpen depth.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Dealing with back tightness

    Manager Matt Quatraro said Friday that Harvey has been dealing with back tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Harvey picked up his first save of the season Sunday against the Tigers, but his back issues have prevented him from pitching since then. The Royals skipper didn't give any indication that the 29-year-old reliever will need to spend time on the injured list, but there is also no telling when he'll be available out of the bullpen again.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Notches first save

    Harvey allowed a hit during a scoreless inning and earned a save over Detroit on Sunday. He struck out one batter.

    Harvey started his Royals career with some hiccups, allowing four runs in 4.2 innings entering Sunday's contest. He bounced back against Detroit, needing only nine pitches to finish the 3-2 game to earn his first save of the 2024 season. Harvey owns a 4.44 ERA with a 55:16 K:BB through 50.2 innings. Kansas City's closing situation appears to be fluid right now after James McArthur was charged with a blown save for the sixth time in Saturday's loss against the Tigers.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Collects 28th hold

    Harvey recorded his 28th hold of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox, giving up a run on two hits over one inning while striking out two.

    The right-hander left Sunday's game due to lower-back spasms, but Harvey was back in action a couple days later. The Royals added another high-leverage arm at the trade deadline in Lucas Erceg, which likely puts another reliever between Harvey and save chances, but he should remain in a setup role.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Avoids serious injury

    Harvey reported improvement with his back Monday and is considered day-to-day, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Harvey had to be removed from Sunday's appearance against the Cubs with lower-back spasms. He has not been placed on the injured list and looks to have avoided a serious injury. Harvey has yielded one run with a 2:4 K:BB over 2.2 innings since coming over to the Royals in a trade.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Exits with apparent injury

    Harvey was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs due to an apparent injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    The right-hander threw just seven of 22 pitches for strikes as he walked two batters in two-thirds of an inning before departing the contest in discomfort. It was Harvey's third appearance since being acquired by the Royals, and his availability going forward is now unclear.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Dealing with back spasms

    Harvey was diagnosed with left lower-back spasms after leaving Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Harvey looked uncomfortable before exiting the contest, as he walked two batters and threw just seven of 22 pitches for strikeouts in two-thirds of an inning. With closer James McArthur continuing to struggle, Harvey could miss a chance to secure the role if the injury forces him to miss any time.

  • Royals' Hunter Harvey: Grabs first hold with new team

    Harvey walked one and hit a batter in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn a hold in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    While the Royals failed to hold the lead, it wasn't Harvey's fault, as he protected a one-run advantage in the eighth inning. Harvey is in a high-leverage role following his trade from the Nationals, though he has yet to differentiate himself from the other middling late-inning options on Kansas City's roster. For the year, he has a 4.21 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 52:14 K:BB with no saves, 27 holds and two blown saves through 47 innings. James McArthur has functioned as the Royals' closer this year, but his continued struggles since May leave him on shaky ground, potentially opening the door for Harvey or other relievers like Chris Stratton, John Schreiber and Sam Long to get looks for saves as long as the team remains in the playoff hunt.
