Monte Harrison - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Pursuing football career Harrison has ended his baseball career and will play college football in the fall, as he joined Arkansas' program as a walk-on in May,Kyle Bonagura of ESPN.com reports.

Impact A standout high school receiver in Lee's Summit, Mo. from the Class of 2014, Harrison turned down a scholarship offer at Nebraska to sign with the Brewers, who drafted him in the second round of the 2014 First-Year Player Draft. Harrison was eventually traded to the Marlins in the January 2018 deal that sent Christian Yelich to Milwaukee, and the 29-year-old reached the majors for the first time in 2020 with Miami. He appeared in 50 games at the big-league level with the Marlins and Angels from 2020 through 2022, slashing just .176/.253/.294 over 76 plate appearances. Harrison rejoined the Milwaukee organization on a minor-league deal following the 2022 season, but he hit just .208 at Triple-A Nashville in 2023 before being released last September.

Clears waivers, sent to Salt Lake Harrison cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Impact After he was designated for assignment Wednesday, Harrison went unclaimed on waivers and will now report to Salt Lake. The outfielder has produced a .213 average with six home runs, 24 RBI, 29 runs and 20 stolen bases over 174 at-bats in 50 games with Triple-A this season. Harrison will remain a candidate for a call-up as the season goes on, but based on his .182 average in the majors this season, he carries little fantasy appeal.

Designated for assignment Harrison was designated for assignment by the Angels on Wednesday.

Impact Harrison had his contract selected by the Angels in late June and slashed .182/.357/.455 with a homer, five runs, three RBI and a stolen base over nine games with the major-league club. However, he'll be cast off the 40-man roster after Jo Adell was recalled Wednesday.

Blasts first homer of 2022 Harrison went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a strikeout during Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Harrison didn't appear in any of the last three games, but he was productive while batting ninth during Sunday's series finale against Baltimore. Since joining the major-league club, the 26-year-old has gone 2-for-10 with a homer, five runs, three RBI and a stolen base. He isn't a very appealing fantasy option since he's started in just four games since being called up by the Angels on June 24.

Joining big-league club Harrison had his contract selected by the Angels on Friday.

Impact Harrison joined the Halos on a minor-league deal in April and will now receive a look in the majors. The 26-year-old hit .213/.305/.368 with six home runs, 24 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 50 games for Triple-A Salt Lake this season, and he should serve as the Angels' No. 4 outfielder. Juan Lagares was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Joins Halos on MiLB deal Harrison signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Monday.

Impact The 26-year-old was released by the Marlins in late March, but it didn't take long for him to latch on with a new team. Formerly a highly-regarded prospect, Harrison has mostly struggled in the upper minors and has only 41 big-league games under his belt. He hit .238/.328/.442 with 15 home runs, 52 RBI and 24 stolen bases in 74 games at the Triple-A level last season, and he'll remain at that level with the Angels to open 2022.

Released by Marlins Harrison was released by the Marlins on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Harrison was designated for assignment by Miami late last week, and he'll hit free agency ahead of the regular season. The 26-year-old spent most of the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Jacksonville and slashed .238/.328/.442 with 15 home runs, 52 RBI, 47 runs and 24 stolen bases across 74 appearances.

Designated for assignment Harrison was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Harrison was a key piece of the Christian Yelich trade prior to the 2018 season but is now 26 years old and is yet to find success at the big-league level. In a small sample of 62 MLB plate appearances, he's hit .175/.230/.263 with a 46.8 percent strikeout rate. While he still possesses raw power and speed, it's beginning to look like he won't ever make enough contact to carve out a role in the majors, as he also struck out 39.3 percent of the time at the Triple-A level last season.

Impact Harrison was briefly with the big-league club in early May, but he has spent the majority of his season with Triple-A Jacksonville. He's managed a .260/.324/.440 line at the level across 111 plate appearances, though he's striking out at a 37.8 percent clip. Harrison will serve as depth in the outfield while Adam Duvall (side ) remains unavailable.

Joins active roster Harrison was recalled by the Marlins on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Harrison is an interesting but flawed prospect, with significant contact issues holding back what would otherwise be a very exciting profile. He struck out in over half of his 51 plate appearances in his major-league debut last season, hitting just .170/.235/.255, but still managed to steal six bases. He'll likely fill a bench role during his time with the team.

Packs bags for minors The Marlins optioned Harrison to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact In addition to Harrison, the Marlins also optioned another one of their top position prospects in first baseman Lewin Diaz to Jacksonville, where both he and Harrison will be able to play on an everyday basis. With Corey Dickerson, Starling Marte and Adam Duvall all seemingly locked in as at least large-side platoon players in the outfield, Harrison likely wouldn't have been in line to play more than two or three times per week had he made the Marlins' Opening Day roster.
