Pirates Call Up Harrington

S. Samek

The Pittsburgh Pirates are calling up a pitcher to start tonight’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Thomas Harrington is being called up from Triple-A and will make the start tonight. The start will mark his Major League debut.

Harrington is ranked as the 78th best prospect in all of baseball and the number three ranked Pirates prospect in their top 30 prospects list.

He was drafted in 2022 and played across three levels of the minor leagues though he spent most of his time at Double-A Altoona. However, the fast rise was a reason why he was in contention for the fifth starter spot during spring training this year.

Harrington’s debut game starts at 7:05 PM ET. Shane Baz, a former Pirates Prospect gets the starting nod for Tampa Bay. Can Harrington stop the losing streak with a strong start? Could this be a first step in him staying in Pittsburgh for good? Tune in and find out.
