Pirates option pitcher Thomas Harrington to Triple-A Indianapolis

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Thomas Harrington was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis after making one start and one relief appearance

APRIL 10 • Associated Press

Heading back to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Harrington to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

Impact Called up from Triple-A on April 1 when the Pirates temporarily expanded to a six-man rotation, Harrington was lit up for six earned runs over four innings while taking a loss in his MLB debut against the Rays. He shifted back to the bullpen following that start and piggybacked Carmen Mlodzinski in Monday's win over the Cardinals, earning a four-inning save while allowing three earned runs. The Pirates still envision Harrington filling a starting role in the long term, so he'll head back to Indianapolis and will presumably re-enter the Triple-A club's rotation this weekend. He could be back with the Pirates in short order, however, as Pittsburgh will begin a stretch of 10 games in 10 days Friday and could bring Harrington aboard for a spot start during that stretch to keep ace Paul Skenes on a five-day rest schedule between starts.

Earns lengthy save Monday Harrington allowed three runs on four hits and a walk over four innings during Monday's win over St. Louis. He struck out five and earned a save.

Impact Harrington entered the game with a 4-1 lead and earned his first career save in an 8-4 win despite his shaky performance. He came into the 2025 season as one of the Pirates' top prospects but has not seen great results at the MLB level yet. Harrington has given up nine runs with a 7:5 K:BB through eight innings. He won't be available in any capacity for at least a few days and it's unclear how the Pirates plan to use him moving forward.

Potential to piggyback Monday Harrington could piggyback Carmen Mlodzinski during Monday's game against the Cardinals, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Harrington has remained on the Pirates' active roster since his ill-fated major-league debut last Tuesday against the Rays, but the team hasn't revealed concrete plans for his usage. It would make sense for him to follow Mlodzinski on Monday, as Mlodzinski still isn't fully stretched out to start after spending most of the last two seasons as a reliever. Harrington yielded six runs over four innings last week versus the Rays.

Struggles in debut Harrington (0-1) allowed six runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out two in four innings in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

Impact Harrington showcased some early command issues allowing three hits and two walks, which led to three runs for the Rays in the opening frame. Another two runs scored off bat of Brandon Lowe in the fourth inning before Harrington's day soon came to a close at 90 pitches. The nerves in his debut were certainly visible for the 24-year-old righty and it's unclear whether his next start will come at the Major League level or back at Triple-A Indianapolis.

Contract selected for MLB debut The Pirates selected Harrington's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of his scheduled start against the Rays on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander will make his MLB debut in Tampa Bay, with closer David Bednar being sent to Triple-A to free up space on the big-league roster. Harrington just missed out on being included in Pittsburgh's season-opening rotation, but he'll still end up making his first start of 2025 in the majors. The 23-year-old split most of 2024 between Double-A Altoona and Indianapolis, and he finished the year with a 2.61 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 115:19 K:BB across 117.1 innings. Harrington may need to deliver a strong debut in order to receive additional turns through the rotation.

Set to make MLB debut Tuesday The Pirates will call up Harrington to make his major-league debut Tuesday against the Rays, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Harrington was beat out by Carmen Mlodzinski for the final spot in the Pirates' rotation, but his first start this season will wind up coming in the big leagues. The 23-year-old collected a 2.61 ERA and 115:19 K:BB over 117.1 innings across three levels in the minors last season. Harrington is known more for his command and control than his ability to miss bats, but he did show a little velocity uptick this spring. It might be just a spot start for the young righty, but if he impresses it's possible he'll be kept in the rotation over Mlodzinski.

Impact After Jared Jones went down with an elbow injury last week that could result in an extended absence, Harrington appeared to be the leading contender to fill his spot in the rotation. Harrington, who will make his final spring start Monday versus the Twins, has posted a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB in 6.2 innings through his first three Grapefruit League outings, but the Pirates seemingly aren't keen on starting up his MLB service clock just yet. Instead, with Carmen Mlodzinski getting stretched out to three innings in his most recent spring outing, the Pirates could elect to use him as a bulk reliever or starter when the fifth spot in the rotation comes up.
