Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After being waived by the Orioles and Giants, Harvey was claimed by the Nationals last spring. The 2013 first-rounder opened the year in the minors, but was recalled just a few days into the season. The oft-injured Harvey pitched 2.2 innings across four appearances before suffering a right forearm strain. While injuries have wrecked the 28-year-old's career thus far, he managed to return after two-and-a-half months and stay healthy the rest of the season. Harvey recorded 45 innings between the majors and minors, his most in a season since 2019. 39.1 innings came at the big league level, with the right-hander posting a very solid 2.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 45:12 K:BB ratio with two wins and six holds in 38 appearances. Harvey is probably the most talented arm in the Nationals' bullpen and he could factor into the 2023 mix for saves if health prevails. Read Past Outlooks

Takes fourth blown save
Harvey (2-2) blew the save and took the loss in Thursday's 8-6 defeat against the Padres. He allowed three runs on three hits while striking out two over one inning.
ANALYSIS
After Kyle Finnegan worked the eighth inning to protect a 6-5 lead, Harvey allowed a pair of singles to start the ninth. He'd strike out the next two batters before Rougned Odor launched a three-run homer, handing Harvey his fourth blown save of the year. The right-hander had been pitching well prior to Thursday's outing, holding opponents scoreless in 11 of his previous 13 appearances. Harvey's ERA is up to 3.86 with a 0.99 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB over 23.1 innings this season. The Nationals are making an effort to try and ease the 28-year-old into a share of the closing duties, but it hasn't gone well -- Harvey is just 2-for-6 in converting save chances in May, and Finnegan remains the clear top option in the bullpen.

Brad Johnson explains how injuries can significantly impact a pitcher's performance and how it in turn affects a fantasy team.

Erik Halterman writes about this week's risers and fallers, which includes Marlins pitcher Eury Perez, who made his big-league debut last week and also has a spot on Halterman's Tout Wars team.

Brad Johnson dives into some unsettled National League bull pens, including in Washington, where Kyle Finnegan is getting most ninth-inning work for now.

Erik Halterman shares his top National League pickups of the week, including Milwaukee's Brian Anderson.

Orioles skipper Brandon Hyde created a bit of a stir in the spring when he all but named Harvey as the club's closer. Fantasy players saw 11 strikeouts in 6.1 MLB innings in 2019 and got excited, especially since he threw a combined 85 major- and minor-league innings that season. Then reality set in as Harvey experienced a sore elbow during spring camp, sidelining him until Aug. 30. Harvey finished the season unscathed, throwing 8.2 innings over 10 appearances. He didn't close, but Harvey did log four holds. He only notched six strikeouts even though his velocity was just half a tick lower than the prior campaign. Harvey's swinging-strike rate was nearly identical to 2019, with the disparity in punchouts looking like small-sample variance. Harvey has the arsenal to be a high-leverage reliever, but health obviously remains an issue. Taking a shot Harvey stays healthy and closes is justifiable.
