• Monte Harrison: Pursuing football career

  08/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Brewers' Monte Harrison: Links on with Milwaukee

  01/30/2023 • By RotoWire

  Harrison agreed Monday with the Brewers on a minor-league contract and received an invitation to MLB spring training, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. It's a return to the Brewers' organization for Harrison, as he was drafted by Milwaukee in the second round of the 2014 MLB Draft. The 27-year-old had a brief run in the majors last year with the Angels and had short big-league stints with the Marlins in 2020 and 2021, compiling a .176/.253/.294 slash line with a 48.7 percent strikeout rate in 76 MLB plate appearances. Harrison will likely be organizational depth for the Brew Crew, and the bulk of his playing time should come with Triple-A Nashville.

• Angels' Monte Harrison: Clears waivers, sent to Salt Lake

  07/18/2022 • By RotoWire

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

• Angels' Monte Harrison: Blasts first homer of 2022

  07/11/2022 • By RotoWire

  Harrison went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a strikeout during Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles. Harrison didn't appear in any of the Angels' 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.

  06/24/2022 • By RotoWire

  Harrison had his contract selected by the Angels on Friday. 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.
