Harrison exits with left ankle injury, doesn't appear serious

SAN DIEGO -- Josh Harrison hurt his left ankle Sunday in the Pirates' 7-1 victory over the Padres at Petco Park, but it didn't appear too serious.

The team described the injury as "left lower leg discomfort," and Harrison flat-out dismissed it.

"I'm fine," he said. "Really."
