Matt Harvey

Matt Harvey told Dan Martin of The New York Post that he is hoping for another shot in the majors.

Fantasy Impact

Harvey is staying in shape throughout the coronavirus pandemic in the hopes that he can latch on with a team once baseball starts back up again. The 31-year-old had a workout with the Blue Jays back in February but the club didn't offer him a contract. Harvey posted an ugly 7.09 ERA in 12 starts with the Angels last season and finished the year in Triple-A with the Athletics. His "Dark Knight" days feel like a very distant memory at this point.

Free-agent pitcher Matt Harvey has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Oakland Athletics, according to MLB insider on Twitter.

Harvey agreed to a one-year deal with the Angels this past offseason but was designated for assignment near the end of July after pitching to a 7.09 ERA. There were rumors that some teams were interested in Harvey for a potential bullpen role, but it isn't clear what his potential role with the Angels could be if and when he is called up to the big league club.

Matt Harvey has been designated for assignment.

Fantasy Impact

Harvey has been hit hard in his 12 starts with the Angels, evidenced by his 7.09 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 59 2/3 innings. He signed a 1 year $11 million contract over the winter, but did not provide the Angels with the reliable starter they were hoping for. Due to his contract, Harvey will most likely pass through waiver claims. An MLB team might take a chance on him for the veteran minimum if he clears waivers.

Matt Harvey (3-5) gave up six runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out one in six innings in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Angels. He took his fifth loss of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Harvey walked a season-high five batters , three which came around to score. He's been very inconsistent this season, allowing two or fewer earned tuns in six of his 12 starts while giving up six or more earned runs four times. Harvey owns a 7.09 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP with 39 punch outs in 59 2/3 innings pitched for the Angels this season. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday, away against the Dodgers. Avoid using him as a streaming option.

Matt Harvey (3-4) earned the win allowing one run on four hits with a strikeout in five 2/3 innings in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Harvey who has been out seven weeks with a back injury, returned to pitch well against the Mariners. He still sports a 6.88 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 52 2/3 innings pitched this season. Harvey will look to build on a positive start in the second half when he takes the mound against the Astros, at home on Thursday.
