The Royals transferred Harvey (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey was initially deactivated April 11 due a right teres major strain and hasn't yet been cleared to resume a minor-league rehab assignment, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his timeline for a return to the Kansas City bullpen. According to MLB.com, Harvey is still dealing with symptoms of the injury, but he's continued to play catch every other day and is expected to begin a normal throwing progression in the near future.

Harvey (right teres major strain) is still dealing with soreness in his shoulder, the Kansas City Star reports. "He's not throwing off the mound and he is continuing to play catch to keep his arm going. But we need to get all the symptoms out of there before we progress," said manager Matt Quatraro.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey landed on the 15-day injured list April 11 due to a right teres major strain. He progressed enough in his recovery to throw bullpen sessions, but suffered a setback when experiencing soreness May 7. It sounds like he's a long ways away from getting back into a game.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Matt Quatraro said the team is going to ease up a bit on Harvey's progression and will go back to having the 30-year-old righty throw standard bullpen sessions. Once he's able to pitch without triggering any soreness, he'll likely resume work against live hitters.

The Royals placed Harvey (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey has been diagnosed with a right teres major strain, and the move is retroactive to April 8. Harvey last pitched Monday against the Twins. He's appeared in six games this season and has yet to allow an earned run across 5.1 innings while posting a 7:0 K:BB. John Schreiber and Lucas Erceg will handle setup duties ahead of Carlos Estevez while Harvey is sidelined.

Harvey struck out the only batter he faced Sunday against the Orioles in the seventh inning to earn his second hold. He's thrown 4.1 innings with seven strikeouts and no walks this season.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey is working as a setup man ahead of Lucas Erceg and Carlos Estevez and should pile up holds again after racking up 28 holds (9th in the majors) in 2024. Harvey is fully healthy after a back injury ended his season prematurely last August.

Harvey threw a scoreless inning in his spring debut Tuesday and says he's fully healthy after a back injury prevented him from pitching in the postseason, the Kansas City Star reports. "Last year was tough," Harvey said. "It didn't feel good to rotate, which is kind of the main thing we need to be able to do. We just couldn't get it to ever calm down."

EDGE Analysis

Harvey met with specialists is in the offseason and the back issue was determined just to be tightness. He delayed his normal offseason throwing program by a month to aid his recovery and appears to be back to regular strength. Harvey will be a key setup man ahead of Lucas Erceg and Carlos Estevez this season, assuming he can stay healthy.
