Josh Harrison has been scratched from Sunday's game after being hit on the elbow by a pitch.
It's just a precautionary move. Harrison wasn't scheduled to start the game, anyway, and he'll probably be ready to play in a day or two. He's competing for an Opening Day bench spot.

Josh Harrison tallied four hits to lift the Pirates past the Reds 4-3 Saturday night in Pittsburgh.
Harrison hit a single in the first inning, a triple in the third, a double in the fourth and another single in the sixth. He also collected his fourth stolen base of the season. The 24-year-old could make the Bucs' Opening Day roster next year if he develops more defensive versatility. He's expected to play shortstop in a fall instructional league.

The Pirates will have Josh Harrison play shortstop in the Instructional League this fall.
Harrison has played second and third base since making his major-league debut on May 31, and has made zero career appearances at shortstop since being a sixth-round pick in 2008. Batting .265/.276/.359 through his first 190 major league plate appearances and a career .306/.355/.424 minor-league hitter, playing a third position could greatly enhance Harrison's chances of sticking around in the big leagues.

Josh Harrison is expected to continue splitting starts at third base with Pedro Alvarez.
Harrison is out-hitting Alvarez, but the Bucs want to keep both youngsters involved as they begin making roster plans for 2012. It's a situation to avoid in fantasy leagues.

Josh Harrison was 3-for-4 with a career-high three RBI in a win over the Cardinals on Saturday.
Harrison drove home the first run of the game with a single in the top of the second inning and plated two more with another single in a four-run fourth inning. The 24-year-old has hit safely in six out of his last seven games and seems to be carving out a niche at third base. While Harrison has demonstrated an ability to hit for a high batting average and possesses some speed, he offers very little in the way of power.
