The Texas Rangers signed free-agent infielder/outfielder
Josh Harrison to a minor-league deal on Tuesday. Harrison hit just .204/.263/.291 with two home runs, three doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in 40 games for the Philadelphia Phillies this year before they released him earlier this month. The 36-year-old veteran can pretty much play all around the infield, so he'll give Texas some infield depth moving forward with starting third baseman
Josh Jung (thumb) sidelined. The two-time All-Star will begin in the minors for now but could resurface in the big leagues for Texas next month when rosters expand. Harrison remains off the fantasy radar.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed infielder
Josh Harrison (wrist) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 9) on Wednesday with a right-wrist contusion. A corresponding roster move will be made prior to Friday's series opener against the San Diego Padres to fill Harrison's spot on the 26-man active roster. The 36-year-old veteran infielder was scratched from the team's starting lineup for the last game of the first half of the season on Sunday, and he won't be available for the Phils to start the second half of the year this weekend against San Diego. Harrison has been a non-entity in fantasy this season, hitting just .219 (21-for-96) with two homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in 38 games as a bench player for the Phils.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder
Josh Harrison (wrist) was scratched on Sunday with a sore right wrist. The veteran utilityman initially hurt his wrist on a slide during Saturday's game and is still feeling it on Sunday. He is available to come off the bench, if necessary, but
Brandon Marsh will now be starting in left field while
Cristian Pache switches over to center.

The Philadelphia Phillies and infielder
Josh Harrison agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal. Harrison was one of the few remaining infielders left in free agency, and he is expected to make an impact in Philly. The 35-year-old spent his 2022 campaign with the Chicago White Sox and slashed .256/.317/.370 with a .687 OPS and 27 RBI. This was a slight drop off from 2021, when he amassed a 10 OPS+, but Harrison continues to utilize his bat despite his high age. He spent most of the season at second base but also saw considerable reps at third. The Phillies will likely platoon Harrison in the infield and hope his bat contributes. He is mainly an option in deep-league and NL-Only formats.
