Recalled from Sacramento The Giants recalled Harris from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Impact Harris owns an .849 OPS across 319 plate appearances in the minors this season but has gone just 1-for-9 at the plate since joining the Giants organization Thursday. He'll now join the parent club to supply San Francisco with additional infield depth, replacing Zach Morgan.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Giants The Giants claimed Harris off waivers from the Red Sox on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.

Impact Harris has managed just a .192/.307/.286 batting line across 74 games covering parts of three big-league seasons. The 28-year-old has been a steady performer in the minors, though, slashing .284/.382/.451, and he can handle first base, third base and second base defensively.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Boston The Red Sox designated Harris for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Harris was acquired from the A's in late June and was up with the Red Sox for a couple days just before the All-Star break. The 28-year-old hasn't quite got on track with his new organization, going 0-for-2 with Boston and posting a .711 OPS in 34 contests at Triple-A Worcester, which is a far cry from the .978 OPS he had at Triple-A for the Athletics.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Pushed to Worcester The Red Sox optioned Harris to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Impact Harris will lose his place on the active roster to make room for Eduardo Rivera, who is expected to start Saturday's game against the Mets. Harris went 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch during his lone appearance after getting called up to Boston on Thursday and has gone just 3-for-18 at Worcester since joining the organization June 30. He will likely spend most of what's left of the year in the minors.

Shipped to Boston The Athletics traded Harris to the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Ben Hansen, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Harris was DFA'd by the Athletics on Saturday despite slashing .336/.441/.537 with five homers, 34 RBI and 32 runs scored through 178 plate appearances in Triple-A. However, he'll make his way back onto a 40-man roster by joining Boston, where injuries have caused infield depth to be in high demand. The 28-year-old owns just a .595 OPS through 213 career MLB plate appearances and will likely be sent down to Triple-A Worcester once the Red Sox begin to get their regular starters back.

DFA'd by Athletics The A's designated Harris for assignment on Saturday.

Impact Harris, who has been with Triple-A Las Vegas since May 12, was designated for assignment by the A's on Saturday. The 28-year-old recorded just six plate appearances for the big-league club this season, but in Las Vegas, he slashed .336/.441/.537 with five homers and 34 RBI in 178 plate appearances. The Athletics designated Harris in order to make room for their new acquisition, Hayden Juenger.

APRIL 29 • Associated Press

Joining big club The A's recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact The 27-year-old will get his first chance in the big leagues this season as Max Muncy (hand) lands on the injured list. Harris had a .274/.349/.342 slash line in 32 MLB games last season and isn't likely to fill a significant role while up with the Athletics.

Bound for Las Vegas The Athletics optioned Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact Harris spent part of the offseason recovering from thumb surgery, but he returned to full health for the start of spring training. The 27-year-old probably needed a big showing in Cactus League play to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, and his .584 OPS over 26 plate appearances ultimately didn't cut it. Harris is likely to handle an everyday role in the corner infield at Las Vegas.

Impact It's not clear exactly when Harris hurt his thumb, nor is it known the specific type of procedure he had. Harris is expected to be ready to go for the beginning of spring training, and he could enter camp with a chance to win a starting job in the Athletics' infield. The 27-year-old slashed .274/.349/.342 with zero home runs over 84 plate appearances during his time with the big club in 2025.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting down Saturday Harris isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Impact After having his four-game hitting streak snapped Friday, Harris will retreat to the dugout to begin the Athletics' penultimate regular-season contest. Darell Hernaiz will slide over to third base as a result, clearing second for Max Schuemann.
