3. Josh Harrison, Pittsburgh Pirates

Harrison has been out since mid-April with a hand injury, but he has also started a rehab assignment this week and should return to the Pirates’ lineup soon. Prior to landing on the DL, he was hitting .263 with one home run, five RBI, 12 runs scored and one stolen base this season.

Harrison set a career-high with 16 home runs in 2017, and he has stolen double-digit bases, at least 57 runs scored, at least 25 doubles and a batting average of at least .272 in four straight seasons. In three of those same four seasons, he also put up an OPS north of .700.

Harrison also has multi-position versatility in fantasy, as he’s eligible at third base (ESPN and Yahoo! leagues) and in the outfield (Yahoo! leagues-nine games in 2017) as well as second base. Across the board production, and that utility for multiple lineup spots, makes Harrison an appealing fantasy asset even if he’s only roster stash material as a replacement for Cano over at least the next few days.
