Mon Feb 515:00Josh Harrison Inks Minors Deal With Reds
The Cincinnati Reds have signed free-agent infielder Josh Harrison to a minor-league deal that presumably includes an invitation to big-league spring training. The 36-year-old spent the 2023 season with the Phillies, hitting just .204 with two homers before being cut loose after just 41 appearances. He briefly latched on with the Rangers but hit just .222 with one homer in six games at the Triple-A level before being released in late August. All told, Harrison is a career .270 hitter with 73 HR, 91 stolen bases, and a tiny 15.2% BB% across 1,209 games with the Pirates, Tigers, Nationals, A's, White Sox, and Phillies. He will be hard-pressed to get many reps with the Reds given their glut of impressive young infielders.

Tue Aug 15 202312:33Josh Harrison Signs Minor-League Deal With Rangers
The Texas Rangers signed free-agent infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison to a minor-league deal on Tuesday. Harrison hit just .204/.263/.291 with two home runs, three doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in 40 games for the Philadelphia Phillies this year before they released him earlier this month. The 36-year-old veteran can pretty much play all around the infield, so he'll give Texas some infield depth moving forward with starting third baseman Josh Jung (thumb) sidelined. The two-time All-Star will begin in the minors for now but could resurface in the big leagues for Texas next month when rosters expand. Harrison remains off the fantasy radar.

Wed Jul 12 202321:04Phillies Place Josh Harrison On 10-Day Injured List
The Philadelphia Phillies placed infielder Josh Harrison (wrist) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 9) on Wednesday with a right-wrist contusion. A corresponding roster move will be made prior to Friday's series opener against the San Diego Padres to fill Harrison's spot on the 26-man active roster. The 36-year-old veteran infielder was scratched from the team's starting lineup for the last game of the first half of the season on Sunday, and he won't be available for the Phils to start the second half of the year this weekend against San Diego. Harrison has been a non-entity in fantasy this season, hitting just .219 (21-for-96) with two homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in 38 games as a bench player for the Phils.

Sun Jul 9 202313:11Josh Harrison Scratched On Sunday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Josh Harrison (wrist) was scratched on Sunday with a sore right wrist. The veteran utilityman initially hurt his wrist on a slide during Saturday's game and is still feeling it on Sunday. He is available to come off the bench, if necessary, but Brandon Marsh will now be starting in left field while Cristian Pache switches over to center.

Sun Jan 29 202321:54Josh Harrison Signs With the Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies and infielder Josh Harrison agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal. Harrison was one of the few remaining infielders left in free agency, and he is expected to make an impact in Philly. The 35-year-old spent his 2022 campaign with the Chicago White Sox and slashed .256/.317/.370 with a .687 OPS and 27 RBI. This was a slight drop off from 2021, when he amassed a 10 OPS+, but Harrison continues to utilize his bat despite his high age. He spent most of the season at second base but also saw considerable reps at third. The Phillies will likely platoon Harrison in the infield and hope his bat contributes. He is mainly an option in deep-league and NL-Only formats.

Tue Jan 17 202316:22Red Sox Eyeing Adam Duvall, Josh Harrison
The Boston Red Sox have free-agent outfielders Adam Duvall and Josh Harrison on their radar, among others. With Xander Bogaerts out of town and Trevor Story (elbow) injured, shortstop is a big need for 2023 as well. Among the available free agents at the position are Elvis Andrus, Jose Iglesias and Andrelton Simmons. Duvall could be a perfect fit for the Red Sox, who view him as a capable center fielder. The 34-year-old had wrist surgery in 2022 and hit .213/.276/.401 with 12 home runs and 36 RBI in 86 games for the Atlanta Braves. Better health and a spot in Boston's everyday lineup would make Duvall a potential bounce-back slugger. Harrison can also play multiple infield spots but isn't nearly as attractive as Duvall in fantasy. He hit .256 with seven homers, 27 RBI and two steals in 119 games for the White Sox last year.

Tue Nov 8 202200:32White Sox Decline Josh Harrison's 2023 Club Option
The Chicago White Sox declined veteran second/third baseman Josh Harrison's $5.5 million club option for 2023 Monday, per MLB's Scott Merkin. The option includes a $1.5 million buyout. The 35-year-old put up decent numbers with the White Sox in 2022 while providing a clubhouse presence, slashing .256/.317/.370 with seven home runs and 27 RBI in 425 plate appearances. His veteran leadership and defensive versatility may help him find a new landing spot for 2023.

Fri Apr 22 202221:24Josh Harrison Hoping To Play Saturday
Chicago White Sox infielder Josh Harrison (shoulder) is hoping to be able to return to the lineup against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Harrison left during Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians last Wednesday thanks to a sore shoulder. He has been getting treatment on the injured shoulder since the injury in an attempt to get back onto the field. Harrison is hitting just .107 with three runs and one RBI across 28 at-bats in 2022. Leury Garcia has been handling second base duties with Harrison on the bench.

Wed Apr 20 202222:36Josh Harrison Leaves Game With Shoulder Injury
Chicago White Sox infielder Josh Harrison (shoulder) left the second game of the doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday with a right shoulder injury. Harrison might have suffered the injury while making a catch in left field, and he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before leaving the game. The White Sox are evaluating him further, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until we know more. The 34-year-old utility man is off to a rough start in 2022, as he has only three hits, no home runs, one RBI and three runs scored in his first 29 plate appearances of the season. There's a good chance that Harrison will need to miss at least a day or two.

Sat Apr 16 202213:12Josh Harrison Back In The Lineup On Saturday
Chicago White Sox infielder Josh Harrison (back) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He missed each of the last two games due to back stiffness. The veteran infielder will cover third base and bat seventh versus righty Corey Kluber. Harrison is a nice addition off the bench for Chicago, but doesn't bring a ton of fantasy upside.

Thu Apr 14 202210:58Eloy Jimenez, Josh Harrison Won't Play Thursday
Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that neither outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) nor infielder Josh Harrison (back) will play on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners, but the skipper considers both players day-to-day. "Maybe they'll talk me out it by tomorrow morning," La Russa joked. "I can be intimidated." X-rays came back negative on Jimenez's ankle after he fouled a pitch off himself on Wednesday, and if he's not playing Thursday, he should be in the lineup by Friday or later this weekend. The 25-year-old has a homer, seven RBI and two runs scored while slashing .235/.263/.412 in his first 19 plate appearances over the first five games of the 2022 season.

Thu Apr 14 202207:53Josh Harrison Day-To-Day With Back Stiffness
Chicago White Sox second baseman Josh Harrison (back) was removed late in Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners due to lower back stiffness. According to White Sox manager Tony La Russa, the injury seems to be a minor one. La Russa stated that Harrison will be getting the day off on Thursday and that he is being considered day-to-day for now. The 34-year-old Harrison is off to a slow start to his White Sox career. Through five games, he's gone just 3-for-18. He's played both second base and third base for the team this year. Danny Mendick took over for him on Wednesday and Mendick could be in line to earn his second start of the year on Thursday.

Sat Mar 12 202222:19Josh Harrison Signs With White Sox
The Chicago White Sox and infielder Josh Harrison have agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract with a club option for 2023, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Harrison is expected to slot in as the starting second baseman for Chicago after spending last season manning multiple positions for the Nationals and Athletics. In 138 games between Washington and Oakland, Harrison slashed .279/.341/.400 with eight homers and nine steals. Joining a loaded White Sox lineup should help Harrison's counting stats, but he doesn't have much fantasy appeal outside of deeper leagues.

Sun Sep 26 202100:02Josh Harrison Collects RBI Single In Win Versus Houston
Oakland Athletics second baseman Josh Harrison went 1-for-5 with an RBI single in a win over the Astros on Saturday. Harrison has been ice cold lately, but he came up big in this one with a game-tying single in the seventh inning. Despite the big hit, Harrison still has just three hits in his last 25 at-bats as he's been scuffling atop the A's lineup. If he's not getting on base then Harrison has little use in fantasy as he's slugging just .367 on the season with eight homers. The A's are one of few teams with seven games next week, but Harrison should still be avoided in starting lineups if possible.

Sun Sep 19 202115:04Josh Harrison On The Bench Sunday
Oakland Athletics infielder Josh Harrison isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's game to take on the Los Angeles Angels, according to MLB.com. Harrison's having a productive year and has value in every format, slashing .295/.358/.427 with eight home runs and nine stolen bases. He's in the midst of a six-game hitting streak and has hit safely in 10 of his last 11. Tony Kemp will shift to second base, while Seth Brown will start in right field. He has good power but won't help out with batting average, as he's hit .210 with 16 HRs and a .457 slugging. With right-hander Shohei Ohtani on the mound, fantasy managers can stream Brown, who has slugged .469 with a .749 OPS against righties this season.

Thu Sep 16 202111:36Josh Harrison Drives In Three In Win At Kansas City
Oakland Athletics second baseman Josh Harrison went 2-for-5 with three RBI, a run scored, and a walk in a win over the Royals on Wednesday. Harrison is batting .308 since August 29 which coincides with his promotion to the leadoff spot in the A's batting order. As a result, he's seen his fantasy value increase and Harrison is a start-worthy infielder in mixed leagues as he's got eligibility at multiple positions and has been hot with eight hits in his last eight games. Keep Harrison in fantasy lineups as long as the A's keep penciling him in atop its lineup.

Thu Sep 2 202110:57Josh Harrison Stays Hot Atop A's Lineup
Oakland Athletics second baseman Josh Harrison led off for the fourth straight game on Wednesday night and was once against productive as he went 3-for-5 with two runs scored. Harrison now has eight hits in his last three games as he's been a spark atop the A's batting order. The versatile veteran has been playing most days since being traded to Oakland at the deadline and has become a useful fantasy asset. He'll look to stay hot with one more game in Detroit before a big weekend set in Toronto.

Fri Aug 27 202110:43Josh Harrison Belts Homer In Loss To Yankees
Oakland Athletics second baseman Josh Harrison went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday. Harrison has been a nice addition to the A's as the trade-deadline acquisition is batting .295 through 17 games with his new club. Harrison doesn't have a set position, but his ability to play almost anywhere on the diamond keeps him in the lineup most nights, giving him fantasy value in deeper leagues. He should be benched on Friday, however, as the A's will face Yankee ace Gerrit Cole.

Managers who have him rostered can slot him back into their lineups tonight.

Oakland Athletics second baseman Josh Harrison (quad) ran the bases without issue on Sunday and could return to the lineup for the series opener with the White Sox on Monday, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com.

Over 98 games between Washington and Oakland this season, Harrison is slashing .294/.366/.435 with seven homers, seven steals, 40 RBI and 43 runs scored. Keep an eye out for updates on Monday, but expect him to be good to go.
