Harrison went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs in a win over the Astros on Friday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.
EDGE Analysis
Other teammates turned in flashier stat lines with more impactful hits, but Harrison and his fantasy managers will take the busy night of small ball that helped shake the 3-for-25 slump the veteran had been mired in for the previous seven games. Harrison is still carrying an impressive .287/.351/.413 joint slash line between his time with the Nationals and current stint with the Athletics, and he remains just an RBI short of tying his career-best tally in that category that he set back in 2016 with the Pirates.

Harrison went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Friday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison ended with only one knock, but he reached base a second time via a hit-by-pitch. Harrison has been providing value as an offensive catalyst at the top of the order and has been a big run-producing threat for Oakland -- he has four straight games with at least two RBI and is hitting .313 with 12 RBI across 64 at-bats this month.

EDGE Analysis
Harrison was plunked in the first inning and scored on a Seth Brown single. In the third, Harrison padded Oakland's lead with his RBI double.
