Narrative:
Climbing out at 19;200 ft I heard a loud bang and noted the right engine egt was climbing to 650. I identified the right engine as damaged and the first officer verified it. The first officer turned off the auto throttle and moved the right throttle closed. The egt and all other engine readings went to normal. Declared an emergency with ATC and returned to ZZZ with arff standing by upon landing. Ran the QRH and all checklists; notified the flight attendant of the problem and to prepare for landing. After landing and clearing the runway; I shut down the right engine and arff said the area looked normal. We taxied to the gate called dispatch and informed them of the engine problem.
