Kyle Harrison Injury News & Updates

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

John Brebbia will start on the mound in Harrison's place with Alex Wood in line for bulk innings. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Harrison was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Harrison (1-1) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Padres.

Harrison yielded three solo shots over the first two innings and then a three-run home run to Garrett Cooper in the sixth. Harrison has had mixed results through his first three starts, posting a 4.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 15.1 innings. Considering he gave up just 10 home runs over 65.2 innings with Triple-A Sacramento in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, Saturday's outing seems like an anomaly. The southpaw is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Rockies next week.

Harrison (1-0) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Monday over the Reds.

Harrison was fine in his debut in Philadelphia last Tuesday, but he was dazzling in his home debut against a formidable lineup. He allowed just two runners to get into scoring position on his watch. Harrison has a 16:3 K:BB over 9.2 major-league innings and should be able to stick in a less-than-encouraging Giants rotation. He's tentatively projected for a road start in San Diego this weekend.

Harrison's next start for the Giants is expected to come Monday against the Reds, Danny Emerman of KNBR reports.

Harrison would be on turn to pitch Sunday, but with Atlanta featuring a right-handed heavy lineup, the rookie is expected to be pushed back a day. Manager Gabe Kapler hasn't officially named starters for Sunday or Monday yet, but it sounds like it will be a bullpen day Sunday before Harrison takes the ball Monday.

Harrison did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 3.1 innings against the Phillies. He struck out five.

The 22-year-old southpaw received an inhospitable introduction to the MLB when Bryce Harper took him deep to right for a first-inning, two-run homer Tuesday. However, Harrison demonstrated his massive strikeout potential, as each of the first five outs he recorded against Philadelphia were via the punch out. The strikeouts come as no surprise, as he led all of minor-league baseball with 14.5 K/9 prior to his promotion, but his control issues (6.4 BB/9) were the main culprit in limiting Harrison's overall production. He completed five innings just one time in his 21 minor-league starts this year. If he sticks around in San Francisco, the rookie will undoubtedly rack up big strikeout numbers, although his inefficiency and limited pitch counts suggest that quality starts and wins may be tough to come by. Harrison tentatively lines up to face the Reds at home early next week.

The Giants selected Harrison's contract from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his major-league debut Tuesday at Philadelphia.

Harrison has officially arrived in the majors just 10 days after his 22nd birthday and will try to help plug the leak in San Francisco's injury-ravaged rotation. The young left-hander was showing an underwhelming 4.66 ERA through 65.2 innings of work this summer at the Triple-A level and will likely be on a limited pitch count after missing most of July due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain, but he possesses an elite strikeout arsenal and should offer considerable fantasy appeal down the stretch.
