The Braves have signed Joe Harvey to a minor league deal earlier this week, in response to the right-hander’s MLB.com profile page. Harvey has been assigned to the crew’s Triple-A camp.
The 31-year-old Harvey has amassed a 3.32 ERA and a 29.75% strikeout fee over 105 2/3 Triple-A innings (all in aid) throughout his profession, spending time with the highest associates of the Yankees, Rockies, and Twins for the reason that begin of the 2018 season. These missed bats got here at a value, nevertheless, as Harvey has battled his management and likewise needed to cope with some harm considerations. Harvey’s 2020 and 2021 seasons have been each reduce brief by forearm strains, and he didn’t pitch in any respect in 2022.
Harvey’s MLB resume consists of 21 1/3 whole innings, 18 of which got here with the Yankees and Rockies in 2019. He’ll search for a path again to the large leagues (or maybe just a few wholesome innings in any respect), with a Braves crew that has had some luck with veteran reclamation tasks lately. If he can hold his walks down, Harvey might need some potential as an under-the-radar depth reliever for Atlanta’s bullpen.
