Harrison is out of the lineup for the fifth straight game Wednesday against Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison only appeared off the bench once over that stretch. He's battled a hamstring issue for much of the season which caused him to sit for eight games out of nine for a stretch in late August, so it's likely that the issue is persisting, though it's also possible that Adam Frazier, who starts at second base Wednesday, has simply moved ahead of him on the depth chart.

Harrison is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark Harrison's fourth straight game on the bench. No injury has been announced at this point, though the veteran second baseman has dealt with a balky hamstring for much of the season. Adam Frazier has also been locked in at the dish -- hitting .352 across 33 second-half games -- leaving the Pirates no reason to push Harrison. Frazier will start at the keystone in this one.

Harrison is not in the lineup Monday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison will stick on the bench for a third straight game while Adam Frazier picks up his second start in three games at the keystone. There has been no word of any injury at this point, but the veteran second baseman has dealt with a lingering hamstring issue for most of the season, missing four games last week because of the issue.

Harrison is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

A hamstring injury kept Harrison on the bench for four consecutive contests before he rejoined the lineup for the series opener Friday, finishing 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. Harrison didn't experience any reported setbacks coming out of the contest, but he'll nonetheless ride the pine for the second day in a row while manager Clint Hurdle gives Kevin Newman another spin at the keystone.

Harrison is not starting Saturday against Atlanta, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison started Friday after sitting for four straight with a hamstring issue. It's unclear if the issue has flared back up or if the Pirates simply don't want him playing on back-to-back days as he works his way back. Adam Frazier will start at second base in his absence.

Harrison (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts Friday in Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start since Aug. 25, Harrison played just his second complete game in two weeks. With four extra-base hits and an OPS of .664, the second baseman has batted a punchless .261 over the last month. Harrison may lose playing time to rookies Kevin Kramer and Kevin Newman in September, but his nagging hamstring injury may be his impediment to playing time.

Harrison (hamstring) will man second base and bat seventh in the order against the Braves on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison will return to the lineup after being withheld from the starting nine for the past four games since suffering a hamstring injury last weekend. He has been able to enter games as a defensive replacement, but this is a sign that his hamstring is finally starting to show significant improvement.

Harrison (hamstring) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison will stick on the bench for a fourth straight game as he continues to battle a balky hamstring. The second baseman was able to pinch hit during Wednesday's win, though he struggled while running to first base. He should be considered day-to-day. Kevin Newman is starting at the keystone in Thursday's series finale.

Harrison (hamstring) struggled while running to run to first base in a pinch-hitting appearance Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The energetic second baseman did little more than trot to first base, even though the shortstop bobbled the ball. It's unlikely the team will place him on the disabled list with September callups just two days away, but it doesn't appear as if he'll return to regular action anytime soon.

Harrison (hamstring) is not in the lineup against the Cardinals on Wednesday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison will remain out of the starting lineup for a third straight game after leaving Sunday's game due to hamstring tightness. He has been able to enter the game as a defensive replacement the past two contests, so expect him to be available off the bench yet again Wednesday.
