Harrison (leg) will play second base and bat seventh Tuesday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison is back in the lineup after getting hit by a pitch in his leg and missing Monday's contest. The 29-year-old is 4-for-17 with two runs and two RBI through five games this season.

Harrison (leg) is available from the bench for Monday's game against the Reds, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison said that he's feeling better after being hit by a pitch Sunday, so it's likely that his return isn't too far away, especially considering he's available in a limited capacity Monday. However, until Harrison is ready to return, look for Adam Frazier to fill in at second base.

Harrison (leg) is not in the lineup Monday against the Reds, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison will get the day off after he was forced out of Sunday's game after being hit by a pitch in the leg. The injury didn't appear overly serious, and the Pirates are likely just being cautious, but he should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated. While he is out of the lineup, Adam Frazier should continue to see time in his place.

Harrison exited Sunday's game against the Braves shortly after being hit by a pitch in the leg, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison tried to play through the pain initially and was noticeably limping while making his way down the first base line. His exit from the contest could very well be just precautionary, but more will be known about his status following the end of Sunday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison will receive his first day off this season. He's being relieved by backup utility infielder Phil Gosselin, who was traded to the Pirates this offseason.

Harrison could see time at third base in addition to second base, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. "There may be opportunity for conversation if we get short in a position," Hurdle said. "If situations change, I do think there is a buy-in that's real with him. I do think his versatility can help him."

EDGE Analysis

With third baseman Jung Ho Kang (restricted list) out indefinitely, the team is expected to primarily play David Freese at third base. If he struggles like he did at the end of 2016, however, look for Harrison to take over the hot corner and Adam Frazier to start at second base. Harrison had his best seasons as a super-utility player and could reprise that role in 2017.

Harrison will join Team USA for the World Baseball Classic, replacing the injured Matt Carpenter (back), Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison has certainly earned the honor, emerging as one of the best utility players in the National League. The 29-year-old contributed a career-high 59 RBI and 19 stolen bases last season while batting .283 over 131 games. Harrison spent this offseason rehabbing from a groin injury, but it appears he's back to full strength and ready to showcase his skills on the international stage.

The Pirates could use Harrison as a utility player if Jung-Ho Kang (personal) is forced to miss time, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. "I do think there is a buy-in (to move) that's real with him," manager Clint Hurdle said. "I do think his versatility can help him."

EDGE Analysis

Harrison had his career season in 2014 when he moved around the infield and outfield. Perhaps more importantly, he says he's recovered from a torn thumb ligament. Harrison underwent surgery in July of 2015 and never fully recovered in 2016. "If it was cold or if I didn't hit a ball right, just rolling over that joint sometimes would be painful enough to where I would know that it was still there," Harrison said. He followed a normal offseason program this past winter. "I was able to get after it like I wanted to, without any reservations," Harrison said. The 28-year-old hit .283 with a career-high 19 stolen bases last year but compiled a woeful .699 OPS.

Harrison (groin) is taking part in his normal offseason program, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harrison injured his groin on Sept. 11 and did not appear in another game for the Pirates. It appears that he has progressed well and will be fully healthy for the start of spring training. It is not a guarantee that he will open the season with the Pirates, as it is rumored that the team is open to trading the second baseman whose offensive production has tapered off since his breakout 2014 campaign.

Harrison (groin) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster after trading for minor league infielder Chris Bostick, and considering Harrison was already ruled out for the season, he was the clear choice to send off. He'll return to the active roster sometime over the offseason and will likely get back to a starting role for Pittsburgh heading into next season.
