BALTIMORE (AP) — Matt Harvey will try to revive his career with the Baltimore Orioles.

The 31-year-old right-hander agreed to a minor league contract. He would get a $1 million, one-year contract if added to the 40-man roster and would have the chance to earn performance bonuses.

Harvey was 0-3 with an 11.57 ERA in four starts and three relief appearances for the Kansas City Royals. His fastball averaged 94.5 mph, down from 97 mph in 2013.

An All-Star with the Mets in 2013, Harvey was derailed by Tommy John surgery in October 2013 and a 2016 operation to correct Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
