Hunter Harvey Pulled After Taking Comebacker Off His Forearm
7 months agoWashington Nationals right-handed reliever Hunter Harvey (forearm) was pulled from his outing in the eighth inning on Tuesday night when he was struck in the left forearm/wrist area by a comebacker off the bat of San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. Despite only getting two outs in the inning while allowing a hit and striking out one, Harvey was able to pick up his fourth hold of the season before Kyle Finnegan came in for 1 1/3 frames to lock down his fourth save of the 2024 campaign. The 29-year-old was in obvious pain and will probably undergo an X-ray on his arm, but the good news is that the injury was to his non-throwing arm. For holds alone, Harvey is worth rostering in fantasy baseball leagues, but if Finnegan falters at all this year, he'll be the first in line for save chances in D.C. If he's forced to miss time after Tuesday's injury, Tanner Rainey would become the team's primary setup man.
