With two weeks until the trade deadline, the Washington Nationals are dealing with another injury: Hunter Harvey, their top reliever, left the club Sunday morning to get an MRI exam on his right arm and see team doctors back in Washington.
After logging a one-two-three save against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday afternoon, Harvey felt soreness in his forearm and triceps, a major red flag given his injury history. His fastball velocity averaged 95.8 mph, notably below his season mark of 98.6. Between games of the split doubleheader at Busch Stadium, Harvey underwent an X-ray — just in case he had bone chips in his elbow — and it came back clean.
Manager Dave Martinez said Harvey is likely to go on the 15-day injured list before Washington visits the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. Left-handed reliever Joe La Sorsa is expected to meet the Nationals in Chicago on Monday, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Beyond that being a tough break for Harvey, a 28-year-old who has repeatedly suffered injuries since he was a first-round pick of the Baltimore Orioles in 2013, it isn’t great timing for the Nationals. As in the past two summers, the Nationals expect to sell, sell, sell ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline. But the cupboard is a lot more bare than it was in those years, leaving General Manager Mike Rizzo with limited options and upside., Harvey might be next, should Rizzo be open to moving him.
