Harrison went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer Monday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
He showed no ill effects from a hamstring injury which kept him out of action over the weekend. Harrison, who has missed time the last two seasons with a broken hand due to separate HBP incidents, has been plunked five times in 62 games after totaling 23 HBPs in 128 games in 2017. He recently switched back to his old batting stance (after guarding against HBPs) and his numbers could rise -- provided he avoids getting hit by another pitch.

Harrison (hamstring) was available to play against the Reds on Sunday, AT&T SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
The second baseman's health improved markedly over the All-Star break and manager Clint Hurdle said he would be "back sooner than later." With Pittsburgh riding a season-high eight-game win streak into Sunday, however, the team went with Sean Rodriguez once again at second and he went deep for the second time in three days. Harrison has slashed just .219/.257/.300 in 172 plate appearances since May 25. The career .278 hitter is a reasonable bet to improve upon a .249 batting mark once the trade deadline passes and his status is resolved. He's been the subject of trade rumors all season long.

Harrison (hamstring) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison continues to deal with lingering hamstring discomfort, which he first experienced during the Pirates' final game prior to the All-Star break. The 31-year-old has yet to return to the lineup a week later and could be a candidate for the disabled list if he fails to show much notable improvement in the next day or two. Sean Rodriguez will pick up a third straight start at the keystone Sunday with Harrison on the bench.

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

Harrison (hamstring) will participate in a workout Thursday that will determine his availability for Friday's series opener in Cincinnati, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though a return to the field for Friday's game seems a tad optimistic, the club appears confident that Harrison avoided any major injury when he suffered the hamstring discomfort during Sunday's game against Milwaukee. Even if he passes with flying colors, the Pirates may elect to give Harrison a couple more days off in order to be certain of his health.

The Pirates announced that Harrison exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with left hamstring discomfort, Elizabeth Bloom of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison sustained the injury while running out a groundball out in the fifth inning and was forced to limp back to the Pittsburgh dugout. Max Moroff entered the game at second base for Harrison in the top of the second inning. Harrison will be treated by the team's training staff over the All-Star break, but it's not known if he'll be ready to play in the Pirates' first game of the second half Friday in Cincinnati.

Harrison was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers after five innings due to an undisclosed injury, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was spotted limping down the line as he ran out a grounder during his fifth-inning at-bat, so it's likely that he's dealing with some sort of leg injury. Max Moroff entered the game at second base in the top of the sixth in place of Harrison, whose injury should be clarified before the Pirates pack it for the All-Star break.
