Thomas Harrington Goes on Injured List at Triple-A
Thomas Harrington (undisclosed) has been placed on the Triple-A 7-day injured list with an undisclosed injury. The Pirates' fifth-ranked prospect made a start for Indianapolis on August 8 and left in the fifth inning with the trainer, but no diagnosis has been provided. The former 36th-overall draft pick had put up solid numbers in the minors prior to this year, but has recorded an ugly 5.40 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a 13.6 percent K-BB% through 19 starts (95 innings pitched) at Triple-A this year. The righty even received three appearances in the majors, one as recently as August 1, but with even less success, allowing 15 earned runs on 18 hits and seven walks while striking out seven in 8 2/3 innings pitched. Hopefully the injury is nothing serious, but he likely won't get a chance in the majors again this season.
