HUNTER HARVEY (Class AA Bowie, Md.)

HARVEY

Former Bandys High star Hunter Harvey is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury sustained while trying to maneuver away from a foul ball into the dugout on a day he was not pitching.

He was scratched from his 10th start (June 8) and remains listed as “active” on the Bowie roster.

Harvey is on the Baltimore Orioles’ 40-man roster, so if he were to go on the 60-day disabled list he would be considered on the major league roster during that time.

Harvey is 1-2 with 32 1/3 innings pitched. He’s allowed 36 hits, 20 (all earned), walked eight and struck out 30. His ERA is 5.57.

Bowie (29-37) finished last in the West Division of the Eastern League, 8 ½ games back of division winner Akron (Ohio).

The Baysox started the second half of their schedule on Thursday night by winning 2-1 at Harrisburg before, 3,985.
