Harrison signed a one-year deal to remain with the Nationals on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran infielder will receive $1 million, with further incentives available based on playing time. Harrison performed capably in 33 games for the Nationals this season, hitting .278/.352/.418. His .770 OPS represented the third-best mark of his 10-year major-league career, albeit over just 91 plate appearances.

Harrison (forearm) struck out as a pinch hitter in a loss to Atlanta on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison left the second game of Friday's doubleheader with a left forearm contusion, but he's appeared off the bench over the past two games. The 33-year-old remains in a depth role for Washington, but he appears to be available when needed.

Harrison left Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against Atlanta with a left forearm contusion, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison took a pitch to his left forearm in the second inning of Friday's nightcap and was replaced by Wilmer Difo defensively in the bottom half of the inning. It's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Saturday.

Harrison went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison took Zach Godley deep in the fourth inning for his third homer of the season. The utility man has nine hits in 32 at-bats on the campaign and should continue to see sporadic playing time around the diamond for the Nats.

Harrison went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Friday's 10-2 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at second base but later shifting to third to give Asdrubal Cabrera a breather in the blowout win, Harrison connected on his second homer in nine games since joining the Nats. Just as Cabrera and Howie Kendrick have done over the last few years, Harrison seems to be reviving his career in Washington -- the sample size is small, but a .286/.313/.536 slash line has the 33-year-old on pace for an OPS over .800 for the first time since 2014.

Harrison is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison started both ends of Saturday's doubleheader split with Miami, going a collective 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI. Now that Howie Kendrick (hamstring) is back in action after missing just over a week of action, Harrison likely won't be in store for regular starts in the near future. With Kendrick serving as the primary designated hitter, Asdrubal Cabrera is expected to pick up most of the starts at third base, while Luis Garcia serves as the Nats' everyday second baseman.

Harrison went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison took Steven Matz deep in the second inning, pulling a ball well over the left field wall for his first home run of the season. He was hitless in his two other bats, though he drove in another run on a sacrifice fly in the third inning and stole second base in the fifth frame after reaching on a fielder's choice. Harrison has earned only two starts since joining the Nationals a few days into the season, and his playing time is likely to only dry up further once Juan Soto becomes fully available.

Harrison passed all COVID-19-related testing and will be available Monday in the Nationals' series opener with the Blue Jays, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being released by the Phillies late in summer camp, Harrison agreed to a major-league contract with the Nationals days later, but he wasn't available for Washington's season-opening series with the Yankees while he waited to clear all health protocols. Now that Harrison is officially in the fold for Washington, he'll likely fill a utility role thanks to his prior experience at second base, third base and the outfield.

Harrison agreed to a major-league deal with the Nationals on Saturday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old requested and was granted his release by the Phillies on Tuesday, and he's set to remain in the NL East. Harrison figures to serve in a reserve utility role, and it's difficult to imagine him seeing significant opportunities given the Nationals already have a dearth of veteran infielders (Starlin Castro, Howie Kendrick, Asdrubal Cabrera and Emilio Bonifacio).

Harrison is nearing a deal with the Nationals, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was granted his release by the Phillies on Tuesday, and it appears as though he could be close to finding a new home in Washington. The Nationals reportedly had interest in Harrison in the past before they signed Brian Dozier. The 33-year-old slashed .175/.218/.263 over 36 games with the Tigers last year before suffering an injury.
