Manager Brad Ausmus said he would meet with Harvey (back) this week before the Angels determine the next step for the right-hander, who made his first rehab start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. "I'm not overly concerned about [Harvey's] results," Ausmus said. "I'm more wanting to talk to Harvey, see how he felt. It's tough to look at a line score and determine exactly what went on."

EDGE Analysis

It's often fair to dismiss the box-score results for most pitchers from their rehab assignments, but Harvey may not be as deserving of the benefit of the doubt, considering he had posted a 7.50 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 10 starts with the Angels when ostensibly healthy earlier in the season. He showed little improvement in his first outing with Salt Lake, yielding eight runs on eight hits and two walks in 2.2 innings while sporting a fastball that hovered around the 90 mile-per-hour range. At this point, it's difficult for the Angels to justify handing Harvey a rotation spot once he's activated from the 10-day injured list, so expect the organization to push back the tough decision by having the 30-year-old make at least one more rehab appearance.

Harvey (back) will make a rehab start Saturday at Triple-A Salt Lake, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey hasn't dealt with any symptoms of the back strain since going on the injured list in late May and he completed a bullpen session Tuesday, clearing the way for the rehab stint. Assuming he'll require only the one rehab outing, the 30-year-old could return during next week's four-game series at Tampa Bay, which begins June 13.

Harvey (back) completed a bullpen session Tuesday and will next face live hitters, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey said earlier in the day he feels healthy and hasn't dealt with any symptoms since landing on the injured list. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, manager Brad Ausmus believes the veteran right-hander will probably require a rehab assignment, which likely means he won't return to the majors for at least another couple weeks.

Harvey (back) stated that he feels healthy, though he's unsure if he'll need a rehab assignment prior to returning from the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey was moved to the injured list May 25 due to an upper-back strain, but he appears to be nearing a return to action. He claims that he's been symptom-free since being placed on the shelf. The veteran right-hander is unsure of the next step in his rehab, though a brief minor-league assignment certainly isn't out of the question.

Harvey (back) said he plans to resume throwing Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels moved Harvey to the 10-day injured list Saturday with an upper-back strain, an injury Harvey acknowledged that he had pitching through without informing the Angels' medical staff. Harvey indicated he didn't expect to be sidelined for much longer than the minimum amount of time, but even if he's able to quickly shake off the back injury, he could find himself on the outside looking in for a rotation spot. The Angels returned Andrew Heaney (elbow) from the IL on Sunday, which likely leaves two rotation spots available for Felix Pena, Trevor Cahill and Harvey when all are healthy. Harvey has been the worst performer of the three, posting a 7.50 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 35:21 K:BB across 48 innings in his 10 starts.

Harvey hit the 10-day injured list with an upper-back strain Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey has been poor all season but was particularly bad in his last start, when he allowed eight runs while recording just eight outs. His season ERA now sits at 7.50. It's unclear if the back issue is expected to keep him out a while or if he'll rest up and miss just one start.

Harvey (2-4) completed only 2.2 innings and gave up eight runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out one in a losing effort against Minnesota on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After throwing a scoreless first inning, Harvey was tagged for six runs in the second and two more in the third. He served up four homers in the game and has now allowed 11 on the season. With the poor outing, his season ERA rose from an ugly 6.35 to a downright hideous 7.50. Harvey had appeared to be turning things around of late, giving up only two earned runs in each of his previous two starts, but this effort highlights how far removed he is from his days of being a rising star. He'll try to right the ship when he faces Oakland in his next start Tuesday.

Harvey won't make his scheduled start Wednesday since the game was postponed due to unplayable field conditions, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was no longer raining when the game was scheduled to start, but the rain during the afternoon left the field unplayable. The game will be made up Thursday afternoon, so Harvey should simply pitch with an additional day of rest.

Harvey (2-3) earned the win Friday against the Royals after allowing two runs on four hits with four walks and six strikeouts over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Harvey carried a 9.64 ERA into Friday's matchup against the Royals but proved he had better stuff than the numbers suggested. The 30-year-old cruised early on, retiring eight of his first nine batters before running into temporary trouble in the third with a pair of two-out singles. He managed to work his way out of impending jams to earn his second win of the season -- both against the Royals. Although the right-hander has fanned just 34 batters over 45.1 innings this year, his strikeout rate is on the rise with 18 K's over his last 20.2 innings. He'll carry a 6.25 ERA and 1.43 WHIP into his next showdown against the Twins.

Harvey permitted two runs on five hits and two walks in four innings, striking out six as the Angels eventually defeated the Orioles on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Staked to a two-run lead, Harvey was touched for a two-run shot by Dwight Smith Jr. in the bottom of the first inning for his only runs allowed. However, it took him 93 pitches to complete four innings, and he was replaced to start the fifth frame. The 30-year-old righty's ERA (6.69) and WHIP (1.41), and he'll try to bounce back against the Royals at home on Friday.
