Manager Tony La Russa said Harrison (back) will be held out of the lineup Thursday against the Mariners, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was pulled from Wednesday's contest due to lower-back stiffness and will sit out Thursday, though La Russa also indicated he could be convinced to include the veteran infielder in the starting nine. Regardless, it doesn't appear to be a serious injury for Harrison, and he should rejoin the lineup within a couple days if he is indeed out Thursday.

Harrison was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mariners due to stiffness in his lower back.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison went 0-for-3 with a run scored and appeared to be in some discomfort while attempting to beat out a double play during the sixth inning. The veteran infielder initially remained in the game but was replaced at second base by Danny Mendick for the start of the eighth.

Harrison went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored Tuesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison failed to record a hit, but he did score a run the only time he reached base. He has been in the lineup in each of the White Sox first four games, starting a pair of contests at second base and two at the hot corner. Harrison has only three hits in 16 plate appearances, but he has struck out at only a 6.3 percent clip, so hits should start to fall in with more regularity.

Harrison will start at third base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
After picking up his first two starts of the season at the keystone, Harrison will now get his second turn in a row at third base. The hot corner will eventually belong to Yoan Moncada (oblique) upon his return from the injured list, but the versatile Harrison could continue to bounce between both positions for at least the new couple of weeks. Harrison has gone 3-for-13 with two extra-base hits, an RBI and a run through Chicago's first three contests.

Harrison signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the White Sox on Saturday which includes a team option for a second season, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison offers positional versatility and a decent bat, as he hit .279/.341/.400 last season while playing every position except catcher and first base. He could spend the majority of his time in Chicago at second base, where the similar but slightly worse Leury Garcia had looked like the top option. If Harrison finds himself in the lineup nearly every day, he has a chance to record double-digit homers and steals, as he finished with eight and nine, respectively, in 138 games in 2021. Such an outcome may have been more likely on a lesser team, however, as the contending White Sox may see him as more of a high-end utility option.
