Harrison is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison will take a seat after five straight starts while Adam Frazier mans the keystone against Chicago. In the past ten games, Harrison is just 5-for-38 at the plate, and could use the day off to clear his head. The second baseman has had a relatively superb season until the past couple weeks, hitting .275/.356/.424 with nine home runs, 27 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Harrison went 0-for-4 against the Cubs on Friday, giving him two hits in 28 July at-bats.

EDGE Analysis

The All-Star could sit Saturday with Jake Arrieta on the mound. Harrison is 2-for-23 versus Arrieta. Since June 28, he's been hit by nearly as many pitches (four) as hits he's collected (five). The mid-season break can't get here soon enough for Harrison.

Harrison snapped an 0-for-21 slide with a ninth-inning single Wednesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Interestingly, he was recently moved from the second spot to leadoff, a change which could've disrupted his routine. Regardless, the Pirates' lone All-Star representative continues to enjoy his finest season since 2014, slashing .280/.360/.433. Harrison is 2-for-6 against Thursday starter Jeremy Hellickson.

Harrison is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison has been a consistent source of production in the Pirates' lineup all season, but he'll get the day off after going 0-for-6 at the plate during Saturday's loss. Max Moroff will take over at second base, batting seventh.

Harrison went 2-for-2 with his 10th stolen base Thursday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

He was also hit by a pair of pitches, extending his major-league lead to 18 HBPs. Speaking on 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh's post-game show, Harrison said he's no longer favoring the thumb ligament he tore in 2015 and can cover the entire plate. He's now slashing .296/.377/.461 with nine homers and 10 stolen bases in 328 plate appearances.

Harrison went 2-for-3 with a walk Tuesday against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

His ninth-inning double helped Pittsburgh erase a two-run,ninth-inning deficit. Harrison's .374 OPS is 50 points above his career average (.324). He needs one walk to match his career high (22) and leads the NL with 16 HBPs. Harrison continues to play exclusively at second base in June, but that figures to change when Starling Marte returns in mid-July, pushing current left fielder Adam Frazier into a part-time player who could play second base occasionally.

Harrison went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and two runs during Saturday's win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

None of Harrison's numbers jump off the page, but his cross-category production makes him a valuable fantasy commodity. He's sporing a .294/.374/.463 slash line with nine homers, 26 RBI, nine stolen bases and 32 runs. His consistent playing time will also help him continue to provide serviceable counting stats.

Harrison will bat second and play third base Thursday against the Brewers, Stephen Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison is 7-for-12 with three doubles and a homer against Thursday's starter, Chase Anderson. He had a pair of hits -- including a hustling double -- Wednesday and is slashing .297/.370/.456 in 299 plate appearances.

Harrison is not in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the past 27 contests (and batting .315 in that span), Harrison will finally get a day off. Adam Frazier will move in to man second base in his stead, while John Jaso takes over in left field to round out the lineup.

Harrison went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored during Monday's win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison is currently riding a 10-game hitting streak with a 1.184 OPS, two homers, six RBI, a stolen base and six runs. He's having his best season since posting a .837 OPS in 2014, and the second baseman is also locked into the two-hole of the lineup of late. His numbers are moving the fantasy needle in most settings, and Harrison's cross-category profile is rare for a middle infielder.
