Harrison went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI for Double-A Jacksonville in Thursday's win over Pensacola.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a rough start to the season for the Marlins' No. 3 prospect, as Harrison's homer was his first and he has a .225/.345/.380 slash line. The 22-year-old has hit safely in six straight games, but strikeouts remain an issue -- he's whiffed 12 times in those six games, giving him a 9:33 BB:K through 20 games. Harrison's power and speed remain intriguing tools, but until he learns to make more consistent contact he'll have a hard time getting the most out of them in the majors.

Harrison has a 60 percent strikeout rate through 20 plate appearances for Double-A Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
He is 1-for-17 at the plate with a 12:2 K:BB through five games. It wasn't hard to envision Harrison going through some serious growing pains against Double-A pitching, given his initial struggles at previous levels. Hopefully he is able to make the necessary adjustments sooner than later. He still possesses enough power and speed to someday be a 25/25 threat.

Harrison was invited to the Marlins big-league camp for spring training, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was dealt to Miami from the Brewers in the Christian Yelich trade just two weeks ago, and it appears as though his new organization is eager to see just what they have in the outfielder. During 59 games with High-A Carolina in 2017, Harrison slashed .278/.341/.487 with 10 home runs, 35 RBI and 16 stolen bases.

Harrison went 8-for-15 (.533) with three home runs and two doubles over his last three games with High-A Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Yes, the sample size covers only three games, but it raised Harrison's OPS at the High-A level from .730 to .868 and was the latest power surge in what has been a breakout season for the soon-to-be 22-year-old. Harrison is now up to 19 home runs and 19 doubles -- not to mention 18 steals in 21 attempts -- in 93 total games this season with Carolina and previously Low-A Wisconsin.

Harrison was promoted to High-A Carolina on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
In his second season with Low-A Wisconsin, Harrison showed the improvement teams like to see in their young prospects. In 261 plate appearances this season, Harrison has hit 11 home runs and stolen 11 bases after he hit six home runs and stole eight bases in 298 plate appearances last season.

Harrison is hitting .333/.391/.635 with five home runs and 14 RBI through 17 games with Low-A Wisconsin this season.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison missed a good chunk of the spring season due to an oblique injury, but the time off has not prevented him from getting off to a fast start. Harrison posted just a .631 OPS over 75 games with Wisconsin last year, but if he can keep that mark elevated a while longer, he could earn himself a promotion to High-A Carolina.

Harrison (oblique) went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a minor-league spring game Friday with Low-A Wisconsin.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was sidelined for roughly three weeks after experiencing soreness in his oblique, but he returned to action Mar. 21, and Friday's showing indicates he is back at full speed.

Harrison was scratched from Monday's game after experiencing tightness in his oblique during the morning, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although the injury doesn't appear to be very serious, the Brewers will likely take precaution with Harrison, who has been hampered by injuries in the past. It's still early in camp, and oblique injuries can linger around longer than expected, so the 21-year-old will be brought along slowly by Milwaukee.

Harrison (wrist) was activated from the disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison saw action with the Brewers' Rookie League squad over the last five days, and he is ready to resume playing for Low-A Wisconsin. Harrison owns just a .648 OPS in 59 games with Wisconsin this season, but he showed signs of life prior to his mid-June injury, posting a 1.056 OPS over 15 games that month.

Harrison (broken hamate bone) is expected to return to Low-A Wisconsin in about four weeks, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Todd Rosiak reports.
EDGE Analysis
He could return to game action in the Arizona League in about two weeks, and then after about two weeks in Arizona he would be expected to rejoin the Timber Rattlers. Of course, Low-A Wisconsin's season ends on Sept. 5, so Harrison is running out of time to get back in 2016. It's been a largely disappointing season for Harrison, who was slashing .216/.287/.361 with six homers and five steals prior to suffering the wrist injury.
