The Pittsburgh Pirates have re-assigned Thomas Harrington to minor league camp.

Fantasy Impact

After Jared Jones (elbow) went down with an injury, Harrington was expected to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster. However, that won't be the case, and he is likely to begin the season with Triple-A Indianapolis. He had a solid spring, posting a 2.70 ERA over 6.2 innings.

Thomas Harrington is not expected to make the Opening Day roster for the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Harrington had been competing for a roster spot with the injury to Jared Jones. Bubba Chandler and Carmen Mlodzinski will be competing to break camp for the Pirates. Harrington is still expected to start on Monday against the Twins.

Thomas Harrington remains in big-league camp and will start Tuesday’s Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, per team updates, as the last Pirates prospect vying for a rotation spot.

Fantasy Impact

Harrington, outshining Bubba Chandler, struck out five over three innings in an intrasquad game last week, staying in contention for a Pirates rotation role into Tuesday. The 23-year-old might just be injury cover. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should roster him, eyeing his prospect upside for a potential Opening Day spot or early call-up.
