Harrison signed a one-year deal with the Tigers on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison is expected to be the Tigers' everyday second baseman, potentially pushing Niko Goodrum to first base and Miguel Cabrera to designated hitter. Harrison has been a capable starter in the past, though his numbers slipped in an injury-plagued season last year, as he hit just .250/.293/.363. A bounceback season certainly isn't impossible with good health for the 31-year-old, and a strong first half could see him flipped to a contender at the deadline.

Harrison had his $10.5 million 2019 club option declined by Pittsburgh on Wednesday, making him a free agent, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison received a $1 million buyout due to this move following eight straight seasons in the big leagues with the Pirates. During the 2018 season, he played in just 97 games -- his lowest since 2013 -- hitting .250/.293/.363 with eight home runs, 37 RBI and three stolen bases. The 31-year-old second baseman will look to find a new home this winter, though Harrison may not get enough opportunities on the field to bounce-back to the fantasy production he enjoyed the previous few years.

Harrison is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison returned to the lineup Monday for the first time since Aug. 31 due to a nagging hamstring injury, going 1-for-4 with a solo homer. He'll retreat to the bench Tuesday as the Pirates look to ease him back into action. The veteran second baseman could continue to cede starts to rookies Kevin Newman and Kevin Kramer down the stretch as he continues to monitor his balky hamstring. Kramer is starting at the keystone in this one.

Harrison went 1-for-4 with his eighth homer in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off a nagging hamstring injury, the start was his first in September. Harrison figures to serve in a timeshare with Adam Frazier at second base and possibly in right field, as his hamstring allows. It's doubtful Pittsburgh picks up his 2019 option, however, so there's a chance he could cede some playing time to younger players.

Harrison will bat sixth and play second base Monday in St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be making his first start since Aug. 31. Harrison has been dealing with a cranky hamstring for the last month and has pinch-hit just once in September. He's hitting .379 with two doubles and a homer in 29 career at-bats against Monday starter, Adam Wainwright.

Harrison is not in the starting nine against Miami on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison will take a seat for the seventh straight game, likely due to lingering hamstring issues, though the club has yet to comment on his status. Adam Frazier will start at second base and bat atop the order in his stead.
