The Orioles are in the process of setting up an appointment for pitcher Hunter Harvey to receive a second opinion on his right elbow.

Harvey underwent an MRI yesterday in Baltimore after being examined by team orthopedist Dr. Michael Jacobs. The Orioles have determined that Harvey has a strained flexor mass and shut him down indefinitely.

Executive vice president Dan Duquette said the club will arrange an appointment next week with Dr. James Andrews in his Pensacola, Fla. office. The Orioles want to keep Harvey close to the minor league complex in Sarasota.

“We discussed it last night,” Duquette said. “We’re trying to set up something next week. We’re still in the process.”

Harvey, recovering from a slight fracture of his right shin, left Sunday’s start at extended spring training after two innings due to stiffness in the elbow.

The Orioles expect Andrews to agree with their diagnosis and prescribe rest for Harvey.

“It’s a muscle strain, a strained elbow,” Duquette said. “We’re going to let him rest and see if we can resolve it and he can start throwing again.

“I think he’ll be able to pitch (this season).”

Harvey, 20, will return to his North Carolina home before heading to Florida next week. The Orioles planned on assigning him to Single-A Frederick, his highest level as a professional, before the latest setback.

Dylan Bundy, the organization’s top pitching prospect, also was diagnosed with a strained flexor mass before undergoing ligament-reconstructive surgery on his elbow in 2013. Hence, the concern surrounding Harvey.

Meanwhile, Matt Wieters is catching an extended spring training game today in Fort Myers. He’s scheduled to go nine innings again, as he did on Tuesday.
