Scouting Report: Tommy Hunter
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Cubs right-hander Hunter Harvey has suffered a significant setback in his recovery from triceps inflammation. An MRI revealed a stress reaction in his triceps area, a pre-fracture injury caused by overuse. Harvey will be shut down for at least another month after experiencing abnormal soreness during a bullpen session on May 8. He has already missed over a month of action since his last game on April 8. Harvey was signed to a one-year, $6.5MM free agent deal by the Cubs but posted a 6.75 ERA over four innings before the injury occurred. This is part of a troubling career pattern marked by frequent injuries, with 12+ IL stints prior to joining the Cubs.
Strengths
- Solid career ERA of 3.07 when healthy (2022-25 with Nationals/Royals)
- Strong strikeout rate of 27.4% in recent seasons
