Harrison (1-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison picked up the win in a strong season debut against San Diego last Friday, but he was far less effective in his second start. Los Angeles tagged him for four runs between the second and fourth frames, and the southpaw allowed at least one runner to reach base in each of his five innings. Harrison is San Francisco's top pitching prospect and should be given ample opportunity to develop, but Wednesday's outing is a reminder that he's likely to go through some growing pains along the way.

Harrison (1-0) earned the win Friday against San Diego, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was sharp Friday, blanking the Padres through the first three innings before ultimately surrendering just two runs on a pair of solo homers. The 22-year-old southpaw went 1-1 in seven starts as a rookie last year, posting a 4.15 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB. Harrison has shown that he can be an effective MLB starter, despite struggling with the home-run ball early in his career. He's tentatively lined up for a tough road matchup versus the Dodgers in his next outing.

Harrison threw two hitless innings Sunday versus the Rangers, striking out four and hitting a batsman. Harrison has used his cutter more after developing it in 2023 but used it on a limited basis, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison relied on the cutter, which sat in the 90-91 mph range, to maintain an advantage over hitters when he got ahead in the count. The southpaw is expected to make a big leap in 2024 after making seven major-league starts with a 4.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 34.2 innings last season. With the Giants' rotation already hammered by injuries, Harrison is expected to be the No. 2 starter behind ace Logan Webb.

Harrison did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing just two walks over five scoreless innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison ended his rookie campaign on a high note, no-hitting the Dodgers over five innings. The 22-year-old southpaw had struggled to a 6.30 ERA in his previous four outings (20 innings). Harrison will end the campaign with a 4.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across seven starts (34.2 innings) as he looks to earn a rotation spot to start the 2024 season.

Harrison (illness) is lined up to start Sunday's season finale against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was scratched from his last scheduled turn Tuesday versus the Padres because of an illness, but he's checked out fine in the days since. The talented young left-hander holds a 4.85 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB through his first six major-league starts (29.2 innings) this season with San Francisco.

Harrison (illness) will start one of the games during the Giants' weekend series against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was originally supposed to start Tuesday's game against San Diego, but he was instead scratched due to an illness. However, his illness will not put an early end to his season, and he will make an appearance in the final series of the season -- though the Giants haven't yet specified exactly which game that will be. The 22-year-old southpaw has given up 16 earned runs in 29.2 frames across six starts since being called up to the majors in late August.

Harrison was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Padres due to illness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
John Brebbia will start on the mound in Harrison's place with Alex Wood in line for bulk innings. Harrison has given up 11 runs (eight earned) over 14.1 innings across his last three starts, and it remains unclear whether or not he'll be able to make another start before the end of the season.

Harrison allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison pitched fairly well in the contest, but the Giants didn't give him much run support. This was the rookie's first start since he was sent to the minors Sept. 15 -- he quickly returned to the big club as a result of Alex Cobb's season-ending hip injury. Harrison appears set to close out the campaign in San Francisco's rotation, though that may not lead to more than one additional start. He's posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB over 29.2 frames through six big-league starts thus far.

Harrison will start Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was recalled Wednesday from Triple-A Sacramento as a rotation replacement for Alex Cobb, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 regular season because of a left hip impingement. Harrison is an exciting young prospect, but he carries a 5.18 ERA through his first 24.1 major-league innings and is a risky fantasy streaming bet versus Los Angeles.

Harrison was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison will rejoin the Giants' rotation this weekend against the Dodgers, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, with Alex Cobb (hip) and Keaton Winn (COVID-19) out of commission. The rookie left-hander was more miss than hit during his first stint in the majors but made some delivery tweaks during a recent bullpen session and looked good. Harrison is much too risky to stream against the Dodgers in fantasy, however.
