PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison is out six weeks with a broken bone in his left hand.
The team says Harrison fractured his pinkie finger Sunday when he was hit with a pitch by Miami's Jose Urena in the third inning of Pittsburgh's 7-3 win over the Marlins.
On Monday, Harrison met with a hand specialist in Pittsburgh who diagnosed the injury.
This isn't the first time Harrison has broken a bone when getting hit by a pitch. The two-time All-Star missed the final month of the 2017 season, when he broke the same finger when he was hit by Cincinnati's Tyler Mahle.
Harrison is hitting .263 with one home run, 12 runs scored and five RBIs with a .679 OPS in 64 plate appearances this season. Pirates Adam Frazier and Sean Rodriguez are expected to share time in the role while spelling Harrison. Frazier is 7 for 28 at the plate with one home run and two RBIs. Rodriguez is hitting .176 with three RBIs and a home run.
