2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harrington qualifies as a sleeper for both dynasty and redraft leagues. The 6-foot-2 righty sometimes gets overlooked in a system with several more famous and hard-throwing young pitchers, but Harrington has good stuff in his own right and excellent command. He logged walk rates below five percent at Double-A (3.7 BB%) and Triple-A (4.5 BB%) while also limiting damage (nine home runs allowed in 114.1 innings). Harrington's fastball sits in the low-90s but has good life, and he throws a total of five pitches that are at least average, with his slider and splitter flashing plus. There's not much evidence that Harrington will miss enough bats to be an SP2 or SP3 in fantasy, but when a 23-year-old starter has this type of command, it can sometimes lead to more fantasy value than the pure stuff would portend. He has an outside chance to compete for a rotation spot in the spring and should be up in the first half one way or another. Read Past Outlooks
Heading back to Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Harrington to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Called up from Triple-A on April 1 when the Pirates temporarily expanded to a six-man rotation, Harrington was lit up for six earned runs over four innings while taking a loss in his MLB debut against the Rays. He shifted back to the bullpen following that start and piggybacked Carmen Mlodzinski in Monday's win over the Cardinals, earning a four-inning save while allowing three earned runs. The Pirates still envision Harrington filling a starting role in the long term, so he'll head back to Indianapolis and will presumably re-enter the Triple-A club's rotation this weekend. He could be back with the Pirates in short order, however, as Pittsburgh will begin a stretch of 10 games in 10 days Friday and could bring Harrington aboard for a spot start during that stretch to keep ace Paul Skenes on a five-day rest schedule between starts.

Harrington is expected to be promoted to the big-league club to start Tuesday against the Rays, according to Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
It's worth noting that Harrington hasn't been added to the 40-man roster yet, so the Pirates will need to make a corresponding move to open up a spot for the 23-year-old before he can officially be selected. He pitched 68.1 innings at Double-A in 2024, posting a 2.24 ERA and a 27.4 percent strikeout rate.
