Harrison to the DL after being hit by pitch last night.

While batting late in the game with the Reds Saturday night Josh Harrison was hit by a pitch in his left hand. While Harrison did continue the rest of the inning he did not come out to play defense and was taken in for x-rays. The results came back that he has a fracture of the 5th metacarpal on his left hand. Harrison was placed on the 10 day disabled list Sunday morning and the Pirates recalled right hand pitcher Chris Bostick from Triple A Indy to replace Harrison on the roster.
The Pirates went on to beat the Reds 5-0 Saturday night taking Game 2 of the series. The Reds and the Pirates wrap up the series Sunday Afternoon at 1:35 at PNC Park.
