Player Outlook
Thomas Harrington qualifies as a sleeper for both dynasty and redraft leagues. The 6-foot-2 righty sometimes gets overlooked in a system with several more famous and hard-throwing young pitchers, but Harrington has good stuff in his own right and excellent command. He logged walk rates below five percent at Double-A (3.7 BB%) and Triple-A (4.5 BB%) while also limiting damage (nine home runs allowed in 114.1 innings). Harrington's fastball sits in the low-90s but has good life, and he throws a total of five pitches that are at least average, with his slider and splitter flashing plus. There's not much evidence that Harrington will miss enough bats to be an SP2 or SP3 in fantasy, but when a 23-year-old starter has this type of command, it can sometimes lead to more fantasy value than the pure stuff would portend. He has an outside chance to compete for a rotation spot in the spring and should be up in the first half one way or another.

  • Pirates' Thomas Harrington: To report to minors camp

    Rotowire
    Harrington was reassigned to minor-league spring training Monday. It was reported earlier in the day that Harrington appeared to be on the outside of the Opening Day roster looking in, and the team made the move official Monday evening. Still, the future is bright for the 23-year-old right-hander, who will be in the mix for a mid-season promotion.

  • Pirates' Thomas Harrington: Not in line for Opening Day roster

    Rotowire
    Harrington is not expected to be included on the Pirates' Opening Day roster and is set to begin the season at Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. 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.

  • Pirates' Thomas Harrington: Falters in Triple-A debut

    Rotowire
    Harrington debuted for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday after being promoted from Double-A Altoona earlier in the day and struck out four over 5.2 innings while taking a no-decision in Indianapolis' 10-8 loss to Toledo. He gave up five earned runs on six hits and one walk. Harrington was advanced to the Pirates' top affiliate after he turned in a 2.24 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 74:10 K:BB in 68.1 innings over 13 outings with Altoona. Though he turned in poor results in his Triple-A debut, Harrington continued his strike-throwing ways, as he found the zone on 52 of his 72 pitches on the afternoon. The 23-year-old righty will most likely finish out the 2024 season with Indianapolis, though it's not entirely out of the question for him to get the call to Pittsburgh if he impresses in his subsequent Triple-A outings.

  • Pirates' Thomas Harrington: Dominant at Double-A

    Rotowire
    Harrington has thrown five-plus innings in eight straight starts for Double-A Altoona, logging a 2.80 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 47 strikeouts in 45 innings over that span. Harrington's season numbers are even better, but he wasn't pitching as deep into games early in the season. The 23-year-old righty matched a career high with 11 strikeouts in his most recent start July 10 against Bowie. He has three above-average-or-better offerings (fastball, changeup, slider) and also throws a cutter and a curveball. His 3.5-percent walk rate is the fourth-best mark among Double-A pitchers who have thrown at least 50 innings.

  • Pirates' Thomas Harrington: Returns from 7-day IL

    Rotowire
    Double-A Altoona reinstated Harrington (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list Sunday. Harrington opened the season on the shelf due to a right rotator cuff strain but has been given the green light to join the Pirates' Eastern League affiliate after one rehab start with Single-A Bradenton. He was sharp over his three-inning start for Bradenton on Tuesday, striking out three while allowing no runs on one hit and one walk.

  • Pirates' Thomas Harrington: Starting rehab assignment

    Rotowire
    Harrington (shoulder) has been sent to Single-A Bradenton to begin a rehab assignment, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Harrington has been sidelined since late March with a right rotator cuff strain and is finally ready to pitch in games. The 22-year-old will likely be eventually assigned to Double-A Altoona after finishing the 2023 campaign at Single-A Greensboro.

Harrington has been sidelined since March 21 by a rotator cuff strain. His timeline to return to official game action is still not set, but he is trending in a positive direction.

  • Pirates' Thomas Harrington: Has rotator cuff strain

    Rotowire
    Harrington was diagnosed with a right rotator cuff strain Thursday , Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Harrington will be shut down from throwing for 2-to-3 weeks before being re-evaluated. The 22-year-old pitching prospect is likely headed to Double-A Altoona, once healthy.
