Harrison went 3-for-5 with three RBI against the Padres on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's start was his first since Sunday, when he injured his left ankle. Harrison winced after beating out an infield hit against San Diego, but he stayed in the game and matched his season high in runs batted in. Pittsburgh traded for Sean Rodriguez on Saturday. Rodriguez could steal a few starts from Harrison at second base or free both players up to serve as super-utility players.

EDGE Analysis
Harrison has been out since Sunday, when he left the game after lunging into first base while beating out a ground ball. The 30-year-old was able to pinch hit Wednesday, and will return to his typical spot at second base in the two-spot of the order for Friday's series opener.

Harrison (lower leg) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Reds, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although he was able to make an appearance as a pinch hitter Wednesday night, the Pirates will let Harrison rest his ailing leg another day in order to get him back to 100 percent. Adam Frazier will man the keystone in his stead.

Harrison (lower leg) made a pinch-hit appearance Wednesday against the Reds, grounding out in his only at-bat.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison had been held out of the starting lineup in back-to-back games due to what has been characterized as lower leg discomfort. Since he was able to log a plate appearance, Harrison could be a candidate to return to action for Thursday's 7:05 ET contest against Cincinnati.

Harrison (lower leg) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
This marks the second consecutive game that Harrison will miss due to his lower leg discomfort. The team is still confident that he'll avoid the disabled list, but until he's back into action, Adam Frazier seems like the main replacement at second base.

EDGE Analysis
Despite the fact that he isn't playing Tuesday night, Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the infielder is feeling much better already and is confident he'll avoid the disabled list. For Tuesday, however, Adam Frazier will replace Harrison at second base.

Harrison's injury is being characterized as left lower leg discomfort.
EDGE Analysis
The injury appeared to involve his left ankle at first which has had issues in the past, although the team is avoiding that language for the time being. Harrison should be considered day-to-day until further tests are done. The Pirates are off Monday, but if Harrison is unable to play Tuesday, look for Adam Frazier or Max Moroff to fill his spot in the lineup Tuesday.

Harrison left Sunday's game with an apparent left ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
He injured himself lunging into first base while beating out a ground ball. Harrison initially stayed in the game but decided to take remove himself several pitches later. The 29-year-old has dealt with other injuries to his left ankle as recently as spring training in 2015. Pittsburgh enjoys an off-day Monday, so the team might not update his status until Tuesday.

Harrison is hitting 385/.429/.731 with three doubles and two homers in 26 at-bats against Saturday starter Lance Lynn.
EDGE Analysis
Including a three-hit game the Friday before the All-Star break, Harrison is batting only .132 in 38 July at-bats. His matchup against Lynn couldn't come at a better time. The Pirates' lone All-Star could get moved around the infield and outfield more frequently when Starling Marte (suspension) returns Tuesday. It's also possible he loses playing time if his slump continues.
