Harvey was designated for assignment by Los Angeles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey was lit up for six runs over six innings Thursday night against the Astros, and it's since become clear that this performance was the final straw. He'll head to the waiver wire after being booted off the 40-man roster, though it's unclear if he'll draw much interest after posting a 7.09 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with a 39:29 K:BB over 59.2 frames this season.

Harvey (3-5) suffered the loss against the Astros on Thursday, tossing six innings and giving up six runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey was a victim of his own wildness against Houston, walking a season-high five batters -- three of whom came around to score. He also gave up a pair of solo home runs and managed to strike out only one batter for the fourth time this season. Harvey has played the part of Jekyll and Hyde this season, allowing two or fewer earned runs in six of his 12 starts while giving up six or more earned runs four times. Overall, he possesses an ugly 7.09 ERA and 1.54 WHIP along with a disturbing 39:29 K:BB in 59.2 innings this season. He'll face a tough Dodgers offense Wednesday when he next toes the rubber.

Harvey (3-4) allowed one run on four hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. He earned the win and struck out three in a 9-2 win over the Mariners on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey's return from a back injury was arguably one of his best of the season. He missed about seven weeks with the injury. Harvey still sports a 6.88 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 53.2 innings this season. The 30-year-old will look to build on a positive start to the second half of the season when he takes the mound against a tougher opponent in the Astros on Thursday.

Harvey (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list as expected ahead of his scheduled start Saturday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey has been out with a back injury since late May. He may have to improve significantly in the second half to keep his spot in the rotation, as he recorded a 7.50 ERA in 10 starts prior to the injury. Jarrett Parker was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Harvey (back) is listed as the Angels' probable starter for Saturday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
After missing close to two months with a back injury, Harvey is ready to return to the starting rotation. The right-hander's first attempt at a rehab assignment was scrapped due to a setback, but Harvey was able to make it through a pair of appearances earlier this month, most recently throwing 3.1 innings and 72 pitches (50 strikes) for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. If Harvey doesn't show improvement upon his return, he could be replaced on a full-time basis by Jaime Barria.

Harvey (back) will make another rehab start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday before returning to the big-league rotation after the All-Star break, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey allowed two runs in a four-inning appearance for High-A Inland Empire on Tuesday. He'll be a regular member of the Angels' rotation in the second half, though he's at risk of losing his job if he can't improve on his 7.50 ERA from the first half of the season.

Harvey (back) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The minor-league affiliate has yet to be decided, but Harvey will nonetheless begin his rehab stint Tuesday. The 30-year-old started a rehab assignment in early June but suffered a setback. Harvey has been on the injured list since May 25 and could seemingly be ready to go shortly after the All-Star break, assuming all goes well in the minors.

Harvey (back) will make a rehab start soon, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rehab start will likely be the first of a few for Harvey, as he will look to build up his arm strength after his initial placement on the injured list on May 25. He suffered a setback in his first attempt to return from the injury in early June, so it remains to be soon if he can prove healthy enough to return this time around.

Harvey (back) doesn't expect to return from the injured list prior to the All-Star break, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey returned from his rehab assignment earlier in June after suffering a setback, but he has resumed throwing off a mound and could soon face hitters. The 30-year-old still has to build up his arm strength a bit and will likely require multiple starts on another rehab assignment before rejoining the Angels.

Harvey (back) was returned from his rehab assignment after suffering a setback over the weekend, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harvey was lit up in his rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Salt Lake, yielding eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 2.2 innings, and it has since been announced that he's still dealing with back issues. He'll likely undergo further evaluation before the Angels decide on the next step in his recovery process.
