SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants’ top pitching prospect, Kyle Harrison, will not participate in the Futures Game this weekend after suffering a hamstring injury following his last start, the club announced Friday.
Harrison, a 21-year-old left-hander out of De La Salle High School, will be re-evaluated following the All-Star break, the Giants announced Friday. He was diagnosed with a moderate strain in his right hamstring, which can typically sideline players for up to a month. Harrison suffered the injury in a training session between starts, the club said. It puts a damper on an up-and-down first half in his first season at Triple-A. While he has flashed glimpses of his immense potential, he hasn’t harnessed his sinker-slider-changeup mix to be able to throw consistent strikes. Harrison is striking out nearly a batter and a half per inning but also averaging nearly a walk per inning, too, while posting a 4.97 ERA in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.
Rated the top left-handed pitching prospect in baseball, No. 13 overall, by MLB.com, Harrison was thought to be an option to provide second-half reinforcements for the Giants pitching staff, but his injury puts that availability into question. Manager Gabe Kapler was not able to provide further details before Friday’s series opener against the Rockies.
