To listen to the talk around the Orioles during spring training, when top pitching prospect Hunter Harvey stayed with the team almost to the very end, his eventual arrival in Baltimore this season was a certainty. Unfortunately, nothing is ever certain with pitching prospects, especially ones with his injury history, and now it seems that Harvey’s Orioles debut is on hold again.
Baltimore Baseball’s Dan Connolly reported on Friday night that Harvey has been scratched from his scheduled start with Double-A Bowie due to “posterior shoulder instability.” Connolly said that Harvey is not currently with the Baysox and that the Orioles want to find out if time off and rehab will resolve the discomfort.
