2024 Fantasy Outlook
To no one's surprise, Harvey once again spent time on the injured list in 2023. Fortunately, he only missed about 4 weeks with a right elbow strain and his health prevailed otherwise. In fact, Harvey turned in his finest season to date with career-high marks across multiple categories, including games played (57), innings (60.2), strikeouts (67), wins (4) and a team-leading 19 holds. His 0.94 WHIP was 7th-best among qualified relievers and he even got a chance to prove himself in the 9th inning with 10 saves. Statistically speaking, the 29-year-old was Washington's best reliever. His 98.3 mph fastball was still the star of his arsenal, but Harvey implemented a slider (14% usage) last season that was particularly effective against right-handed batters (.087 BAA). Health and performance permitting, Harvey has a chance to be called for more save chances in 2024 with Washington looking to take another step forward. Read Past Outlooks
Grabs first hold with new team
Harvey walked one and hit a batter in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn a hold in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
While the Royals failed to hold the lead, it wasn't Harvey's fault, as he protected a one-run advantage in the eighth inning. Harvey is in a high-leverage role following his trade from the Nationals, though he has yet to differentiate himself from the other middling late-inning options on Kansas City's roster. For the year, he has a 4.21 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 52:14 K:BB with no saves, 27 holds and two blown saves through 47 innings. James McArthur has functioned as the Royals' closer this year, but his continued struggles since May leave him on shaky ground, potentially opening the door for Harvey or other relievers like Chris Stratton, John Schreiber and Sam Long to get looks for saves as long as the team remains in the playoff hunt.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential trade chip
The Nationals could look to trade Harvey ahead of the trade deadline this summer, reports Barry Svrluga of The Washington Post.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander appeared to enter 2024 with a chance to see some saves, but Kyle Finnegan has locked down the closer role with the best year of his career. Harvey has labored of late with four walks and four earned runs allowed over his past two outings, but he had a 2.68 ERA through 34 appearances prior to the recent struggles. The 29-year-old will enter his final year of arbitration eligibility in 2025 before hitting free agency.
