Harrison (hand), who has intensified his workouts in the last week, will meet with team doctors Friday to determine his next step.

EDGE Analysis

He's just over three weeks into a six-week rehabilitation process for a fractured bone beneath his pinky finger. Harrison said he's fielding ground balls, taking swings in the batting cage and doing "pretty much everything but game-speed stuff." There's a chance he could return in less than the projected time period, but the second baseman wants to make certain he's fully healthy. "When I come back, I'm going to be good to go," Harrison said. "The main thing is I want to make sure the bone's healed completely."

Harrison (hand) has yet to be cleared to swing a bat, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.

EDGE Analysis

The infielder has already been out a little over two weeks, though it appears that he still has a few hurdles to overcome in his rehab program. Harrison is participating in some baseball activities, however. He was seen fielding grounders and tracking pitches in the bullpen, so his return appears to largely be hinging on when he'll be able to swing.

Harrison was diagnosed with a fracture of the fifth metacarpal on his left hand Monday as is expected to miss approximately six weeks.

EDGE Analysis

This is a tough break for Harrison, who suffered an identical injury in September of last year that ended his season prematurely. The 30-year-old sustained the injury after getting hit by a pitch during Sunday's game against the Marlins. His initial timetable for a return has him sidelined until the beginning of June. Harrison was off to a hot start to the season prior to injuring himself, hitting .263/.328/.351 with a homer, a stolen base and five RBI across 14 games. The Pirates will likely use a combination of Adam Frazier and Sean Rodriguez to fill in for Harrison at the keystone.

Harrison (hand) will undergo further examination in Pittsburgh after getting hit by a pitch Sunday in Miami, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second baseman did not have his left hand in a cast or brace, but we probably won't find out the extent of his injury until Monday. Harrison fractured the same hand last September, ending his season prematurely. Adam Frazier and to a lesser extent, Sean Rodriguez, would likely fill in for Harrison in the event he needs to miss any time.

Harrison was forced to leave Sunday's matchup with Miami after he was struck by a pitch on his left hand, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison was in visible discomfort and was noticeably upset while on his way out of the game. Adam Frazier will enter the game for him in the meantime, but check back later for the team to provide an official update on his status.

Harrison is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison will head to the bench for the series finale after going 2-for-10 during the first two games. Adam Frazier is set to man the keystone and bat atop the order in his absence.

Harrison missed hitting for the cycle by a triple in the second game of Sunday's twin bill, going 3-for-5 with two RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison batted second in the order in Game 1 and led off in Game 2. The second baseman is hitting .357 in the early going and has scored five runs in three games. He's 10-for-29 with two homers against Monday starter Lance Lynn.

Harrison will start at second base and bat leadoff Tuesday in the Pirates' Grapefruit League finale against the Phillies, Elizabeth Bloom of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from David Freese serving in the designated-hitter spot that won't be available to them in regular-season contests against National League teams, the Pirates are rolling out a lineup that looks to be a preview of what they'll use on Opening Day. With that in mind, it looks like Harrison will be tasked with setting the table for Pittsburgh to begin the 2018 campaign after serving primarily as the club's No. 2 hitter a season ago. The move up a spot up in the lineup shouldn't alter Harrison's outlook much, as he'll remain a plus source of steals, batting average and runs regardless of whether he bats first or second.

Harrison (hand) will start at second base and bat leadoff against the Yankees on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal after being hit by a pitch in early September, but it appears that he's fully healthy as the Pirates get underway with their Grapefruit League contests. In 2017, he slashed .272/.339/.432 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI and 12 stolen bases.

Harrison (hand) was reinstated from the 60-day DL on Monday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This move is just a formality since there's no DL in the offseason. Harrison fractured his fifth metacarpal back in early September and there's still no guarantee that he'll be ready to go at the start of training camp in mid-February.
