KYLE HARRISON NEWS

Slated for return this weekend Harrison (ankle) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday to make a start in Cleveland.

Impact As anticipated, Harrison will bypass a rehab assignment and step right back into the San Francisco rotation after having missed just under a month with a right ankle sprain. During his absence, Harrison has been able to build his arm back up through bullpen sessions and live batting practice sessions, so he likely won't face any major restrictions in his first start since June 10. Harrison went 4-3 with a 3.96 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 68:22 K:BB across 77.1 innings over his first 14 starts with the Giants prior to landing on the shelf.

Won't require rehab stint Harrison (ankle) will throw one more bullpen session before rejoining the rotation during the Giants' six-game road trip that begins Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area...

Impact Harrison hasn't seen any game action since June 10 due to a sprained right ankle, but he'll be ready to return to the Giants' rotation after completing several bullpen sessions. While it's unclear when he'll be slotted to start, the 22-year-old is most likely to pitch during a three-game series in Cleveland next weekend. Prior to the injury, Harrison turned in a 3.96 ERA and 68:22 K:BB across 77.1 innings.

Tagged for 12 hits in loss Harrison (4-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on 12 hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact Harrison's final line ultimately could've looked a lot worse, as he surrendered a career-most 12 hits. The 22-year-old southpaw's hit a rough patch of late, giving up three or more runs over five innings in each of his last four starts. Harrison's ERA is up to 4.15 through 12 starts (65 innings) this year with a 1.40 WHIP and 60:22 K:BB. He'll look to get on track in his next outing, currently lined up for early next week in Arizona.

Lasts four innings in no-decision Harrison took a no-decision Saturday versus the Diamondbacks, permitting three runs on six hits and one walk over four innings. He notched five strikeouts.

Impact Harrison had a 1-2-3 second inning but labored in all three of his other frames, ultimately getting pulled after throwing 74 pitches over just four innings. He averaged just 91.9 mph with his four-seamer, which is down 1.3 mph from his average for the year. If there are silver linings, it's Harrison striking out more than a batter per frame and also not giving up any home runs, as bat-missing and the long ball have been issues in his first four starts. His next outing should come at home against the Pirates.

Sharp in finale Harrison did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing just two walks over five scoreless innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.

Impact 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.

Lined up for Sunday Harrison (illness) is lined up to start Sunday's season finale against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact 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.

Will make one more start Harrison (illness) will start one of the games during the Giants' weekend series against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Harrison was originally supposed to start Tuesday's game against San Diego, but he was instead scratched due to an illness. Fortunately, 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.

Scratched with illness Harrison was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Padres due to illness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact John Brebbia will start on the mound in Harrison's place, as the Giants appear to be preparing for a bullpen game Tuesday. 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.

Goes 5.1 innings in return 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.

Impact 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.

Will start Thursday Harrison will start Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact 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.

Rejoining Giants' rotation Harrison was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Sent to Triple-A Harrison was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Harrison has struggled across his last three starts, surrendering 12 earned runs across 14.2 frames. Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco also reports that Harrison had lost velocity in his last outing, a factor that may have played a part in the team's decision. Barring an injury to a pitcher, Harrison will have to spend at least 15 days in the minors. Ross Stripling (back) was activated in the corresponding move.

Hit hard early Harrison did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk over four innings against the Guardians. He struck out three.

Impact It was a disastrous first inning for Harrison as the lefty surrendered a walk to open the frame, followed by a two-run homer to Jose Ramirez in the next at-bat. Another two runs would come across for Cleveland in the inning, though they weren't charged to Harrison on account of a fielding error by Casey Schmitt. The rookie has now allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last three starts, yielding six home runs and 18 hits over that stretch. He currently holds a 7.36 ERA this month after maintaining a 1.86 ERA through two August starts.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes no-decision Harrison allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Friday.

Impact The Rockies got to him for three runs in the second inning and Nolan Jones added a solo home run in the sixth to end Harrison's night. This was progress from Harrison's last starts, but it still wasn't a particularly commanding effort. He's struck out at least five batters in all four of his starts while posting a 4.87 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB across 20.1 innings. The rookie is projected for a home start versus light-hitting Cleveland next week, which should also allow him to avoid a visit to Coors Field when the Giants and Rockies clash again next weekend.
