I think Hunter Harvey is a lemon.
RHP*Hunter Harvey*(mid-back tightness)
Expected return:*September
Harvey has been on the 15-day IL since Aug. 10, retroactive to Aug. 7, after he felt something pull in his back during his normal pregame routine earlier that week. He suffered a setback in his rehab program on Aug. 20 when he had to receive a cortisone injection because his back wasn't loosening up as much as he or the Royals would have liked to see at that point.
Harvey threw a bullpen on Sept. 1 and "did not bounce back well" from it the next day, manager Matt Quatraro said, with symptoms returning following the bullpen. Harvey did not throw on Sept. 3 or 4. It's become a day-to-day situation as he and the Royals see how he feels and determine what the next steps will be.*(Last updated: Sept. 4)
