KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals placed reliever Hunter Harvey on the 15-day disabled list on Friday because of a right shoulder injury.
The team said Harvey is dealing with a strain of the teres muscle in the shoulder.
Harvey has allowed just one hit with no walks and seven strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings across six appearances so far for the Royals.
Manager Matt Quatraro said before Friday night's game against the Cleveland Guardians that Harvey felt something when he was warming up to possibly come in during Thursday’s game against the Minnesota Twins. An MRI after the game revealed a mild Grade 1 strain.
Harvey has remained in Kansas City for rehab as the Royals begin a 10-game road trip to Cleveland, New York and Detroit. Quatraro said Harvey will be reevaluated in a week.
The 30-year-old Harvey, acquired from Washington last July, has spent the last few years dealing with various health issues. He missed time during the late stages of the 2024 season due to a back injury and also had problems with his right elbow and his right arm.
“Definitely feel for him,” Quatraro said. “He was frustrated last season. So to be back and throwing the ball well in the spring and the early part of the season, I know I commented several times on how free and easy it looked. And then just as he’s warming up to feel something is very unfortunate.”
Kansas City recalled right-handed reliever Steven Cruz from Triple-A Omaha to take Harvey's roster spot. The Royals are scheduled to play in Cleveland on Friday night.

TORONTO (AP) — Tyrese Maxey scored 33 points, Joel Embiid had 27 and the Philadelphia 76ers used an 80-point first half to beat the Toronto Raptors 115-102 on Monday night.
VJ Edgecombe and Paul George each scored 15 points as the 76ers bounced back from Sunday’s overtime loss to Toronto to win for the sixth time in eight games.
Embiid (left knee and left groin) and George (left knee) were back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday.
Fans chanted “We want Lowry!” in the fourth quarter, then rose for a standing ovation when former Raptors player Kyle Lowry checked in for Maxey with 1:57 left to play.
Lowry starred for the Toronto team that won the 2019 NBA championship. He airballed a 3-pointer on his first attempt and missed all three shots he took.
Immanuel Quickley scored 18 points and Brandon Ingram had 17 points and 10 rebounds. Scottie Barnes scored 15 points for Toronto.
Barnes, who hit the game-winning free throw Sunday, was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week earlier Monday.
Philadelphia’s 80 first-half points were the most by a Raptors opponent this season. The 76ers made 27 of 37 field goals in the opening half, including 13 of 20 from long range, and shot 13 for 13 at the free throw line.
Maxey scored 18 points in the first to help Philadelphia build a 45-28 lead after one. He connected on six of seven attempts, including three of four from distance.
After shooting 8 for 31 from long range Sunday, the 76ers combined to make 7 of 8 3-pointers in the first. They followed that by making four straight to begin the second.
Ingram returned after missing two games because of a sore right thumb. RJ Barrett (left thumb) sat for the second straight game.
Philadelphia’s biggest lead was 33 points, 87-54, after an Edgecombe 3 with 8:24 remaining in the third.
76ers: Host Cleveland on Wednesday.
Raptors: At Indiana on Wednesday.
