Harvey announced his retirement from professional baseball Friday.
Harvey last pitched in the majors in 2021, spending 2022 in the Orioles' minor-league system. His career began with a bang in New York with the Mets before it was sidetracked by injuries and poor performance. Harvey finishes his major-league career with a 50-66 record and 4.42 ERA over parts of nine seasons. He made one All-Star team.
Harvey elected free agency Thursday, per Triple-A Norfolk's transaction log.
Harvey spent the entire season in the minor leagues and the majority of that time with Norfolk. He maintained a 4.31 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 54.1 innings and will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal in 2023.

Orioles' Matt Harvey: Back from suspension at Triple-A
Rotowire
Harvey (suspension) was activated by Triple-A Norfolk and will start Friday against Jacksonville, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Harvey made three starts between High-A Aberdeen and Double-A Bowie over the past couple weeks and has now been cleared to join Norfolk after completing his suspension for participating in the distribution of a prohibited Drug of Abuse. The veteran right-hander joined Baltimore on a minor-league deal in early April and already appears close to being fully stretched out given he covered 16 frames during his outings in the lower minors. He finished with a 6.27 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 95:37 K:BB across 127. innings for the Orioles last year.
