• Giants' Kyle Harrison: Season likely over

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Giants manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday that Harrison (shoulder) is unlikely to be activated from the 15-day injured list before the season ends Sept. 29, MLB.com reports. Though the left shoulder inflammation that sent Harrison to the IL on Sept. 6 has been deemed mild following an MRI, the young southpaw won't be asked to ramp back up with little time left in the season. Harrison had already logged a career-high 124.1 innings prior to being deactivated, which is likely a factor in the organization's decision to shut him down. Over his 24 starts this season, Harrison went 7-7 with a 4.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 118:42 K:BB.

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Harrison (7-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over 2.2 innings. Harrison was roughed up for a second straight outing and Tuesday's start was his shortest of the season. The Diamondbacks scored multiple runs in all three innings Harrison worked, which included a two-run homer by Randal Grichuk in the opening frame. Harrison has now allowed 11 runs over his last 7.1 innings and has just two quality starts since the beginning of July. For the year, he owns a 4.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 118:42 K:BB in 124.1 innings and lines up to face the Padres on the road over the weekend.

• Giants' Kyle Harrison: Alllows two runs, removed in fifth

  08/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Harrison did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits over 4.2 innings against the Nationals. He struck out three. Harrison rebounded after having given up four home runs in his previous start, allowing just two runs to cross the plate Thursday while avoiding the long ball for the sixth time in his last eight starts. Harrison remained in the game following a 50-minute rain delay in the top of the third but was removed with the bases empty and two outs in the fifth at just 61 pitches, a season-low total for the 22-year-old lefty. While there is no indication that an injury was the cause for his removal, Harrison did see a noticeable dip in his velocity with multiple fastballs failing to reach 90 mph. It's possible the Giants will elect to give him extra rest, but as of now he looks to be on track to make his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to take place during next week's home series against Atlanta.

  08/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Harrison (6-5) took the loss against Cincinnati on Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings. Harrison had been pitching well coming into Saturday, giving up two runs over 17 innings across his previous three starts. However, he was hit hard by the Reds, with four of the six hits against him leaving the park. Two of those homers came during a disastrous fourth frame during which Harrison yielded four total hits and four runs. The four long balls were a season-worst mark for Harrison, and it was just the fourth time through 19 starts that he's surrendered multiple homers in an outing.
