Harrison will start at second base and bat leadoff Tuesday in the Pirates' Grapefruit League finale against the Phillies, Elizabeth Bloom of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from David Freese serving in the designated-hitter spot that won't be available to them in regular-season contests against National League teams, the Pirates are rolling out a lineup that looks to be a preview of what they'll use on Opening Day. With that in mind, it looks like Harrison will be tasked with setting the table for Pittsburgh to begin the 2018 campaign after serving primarily as the club's No. 2 hitter a season ago. The move up a spot up in the lineup shouldn't alter Harrison's outlook much, as he'll remain a plus source of steals, batting average and runs regardless of whether he bats first or second.
