SF Giants’ Harrison talks promotion, transition to bullpen

CHICAGO — Kyle Harrison was never himself during spring training, tasked with recovering from both a nagging shoulder injury and an illness-induced weight loss. Thus, he didn’t make the team out of spring training. But a month into the season, Harrison is back up with the Giants.

As a reliever.

“Definitely something new, but I’m going to embrace it,” Harrison said. “I’m here for a reason. I want to help this team win. They thought this is the best way I could help this team win and I agree right now.
