Josh Harrison Has Begun Fielding Grounders rotoballer.com Wed 5/2/18 2:01 PM

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hand) has reportedly begun fielding ground balls on Wednesday. He still has not been cleared to swing the bat, but is making some progress. The Pirates expect Harrison to be ready to return by June, but it's unclear if he'll make that timetable. Fantasy owners with a DL slot available could hold onto Harrison, but otherwise he can remain on the waiver wire right now.

The Cut List (Week 3): Time to Let Go? rotoballer.com Sun 4/15/18 3:15 AM

Well, we're three weeks into the season and the picture is starting to clear up. Players who started off the year cold are heating up (Andrew Benintendi, Mike Moustakas, Steve Pearce) while guys like Josh Harrison and Nick Ahmed are slowly regressing to the mean. We can start confidently making add/drop decisions, but don't expect to see the names of bonafide studs on these cuts lists. My add/drop philosophy is simple: cut average players on cold streaks and hold your studs. The advice of[...]

Josh Harrison Has Third Straight Multi-Hit Game rotoballer.com Sat 4/7/18 6:44 AM

Josh Harrison stayed hot on Friday, going 2-for-5 with two RBI, two runs scored, and his first stolen base of the season against the Cincinnati Reds. The Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman now has multiple hits in three straight contests and is hitting .344/.417/.500 with one homer, four RBI, and seven runs scored through seven games. He should continue to be a quality source for batting average and runs atop a Pittsburgh lineup that's been surprisingly potent so far in 2018.

Champ or Chump - Derek Dietrich and Josh Harrison rotoballer.com Thu 4/5/18 4:15 AM

One of the biggest differences between daily and weekly fantasy formats is that sinking feeling you get when one of your studs has a day off. It happens to everyone in weekly formats, but your rivals are getting a game advantage over you in daily settings. You can't carry a backup on your bench for every position either, as you usually want to dedicate at least some reserve slots to SPs. My preferred solution to this problem is to roster a useful bench bat who might not be worth starting ever[...]

Josh Harrison Finishes a Triple Short of Cycle rotoballer.com Sun 4/1/18 8:33 PM

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison played a huge role in his team's doubleheader sweep on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with a double and a home run in the nightcap. His homer was the shortest recorded in all of baseball through the season's first weekend at 342 feet, but it counted all the same. That being said, it shows why his career-best power surge in 2017 is hard to trust. Although he hit 16 home runs, his average exit velocity was below league average (84.1 mph) by more than 2 mph. H[...]

Josh Harrison, Adam Frazier To Share Leadoff Duties rotoballer.com Fri 3/23/18 2:06 PM

Josh Harrison and Adam Frazier will both see time at the top of the Pittsburgh Pirates' lineup this season, The Athletic's Rob Biertempfel reports. Frazier batted leadoff more than any other Pirates hitter last season, but he is a utility man heading into 2018. Harrison, who is locked in as the starting second baseman, may see more time atop the batting order. Biertempfel adds that Corey Dickerson will also hit first at times. Frazier's lack of a clear path to consistent playing time makes him a[...]
