Hunter Harvey Stats

The Washington Nationals reinstated right-hander Hunter Harvey (elbow) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned pitcher Joe La Sorsa to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Harvey will return to Washington's bullpen after missing over a month of action due to a right-elbow strain. The 28-year-old will be in a setup role, giving him value in deeper fantasy leagues and formats that give points for holds. Before his injury, Harvey had pitched well for the Nats in 39 appearances out of the bullpen, sporting a 3.12 ERA (3.62 FIP), 0.99 WHIP, his first nine career saves, 12 walks and 45 strikeouts in 40 1/3 innings pitched. Kyle Finnegan is the locked in closer in D.C., so Harvey will be working in a setup role.

Washington Nationals reliever Hunter Harvey (elbow) could join the Nationals as early as this week without a rehab assignment, according to manager Dave Martinez. Harvey threw a bullpen session on Sunday, along with Tanner Rainey, and it went well. The veteran reliever has been out since July 17 with a right elbow strain so it's encouraging to hear he's close to returning. Harvey will likely return to a setup role as Kyle Finnegan has the closer role locked down. That will certainly impact Harvey's fantasy value in saves-only leagues.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Hunter Harvey (elbow) has been officially placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday. The right-hander said he was dealing with soreness in his elbow and forearm following Sunday's game. The team is calling the injury a right elbow sprain, so it's unclear how long Harvey is going to be out. The 28-year-old was a big part of the Nats bullpen, so it's going to be tough for the team to replace him. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.
