Harvey will throw a 25-pitch bullpen session Friday as he progresses in his recovery from last July's Tommy John surgery, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Manager Buck Showalter is encouraged by where Harvey is in the rehab process. "It will be good to get him back out there," the skipper said. "We had hoped he'd make it back by June, so he's right on schedule." Harvey hopes to log some innings late this year, but the organization will most certainly be monitoring his workload carefully. The right-hander remains years away from a possible MLB debut, but Harvey is worth a spot in franchise leagues that have minor-league designations.
