Josh Harrison left today’s game after the first inning with left ankle discomfort. Harrison singled to lead off the bottom half of the first inning, then reached second base on a wild pitch. He broke from second on a fly ball to the gap by Francisco Cervelli, and went too far down the line. He turned back as the left fielder caught the ball, and stumbled in the process. It looked like he turned his ankle in the process, and he was easily doubled off at second base. Brent Morel replaced him at third base in the top of the second inning.
The Pirates said they will have additional information on Harrison’s ankle either tonight or tomorrow morning.
UPDATE 4:16 PM: Not really much of an update here. Clint Hurdle said that it appeared that Harrison rolled his ankle on the base paths. Harrison declined to comment, wanting to talk with Hurdle before he said anything. He said that he would comment about it tomorrow. Harrison was walking around in the clubhouse without any assistance after the game, which could be a good sign.
