Harrison later tweeted the worst that the ankle is broken and he looks towards the road to recovery.

This injury could not have come at a worse time for Harrison. After struggling in Low-A Wisconsin for the first half of the season, the young star was shining since playing in Helena. Through his first 28 games in Helena things were clicking for the 19-year-old, as he was batting .299 with three home runs and an .884 OPS. He also added 14 steals. These numbers helped to boost confidence and show exactly why the top-prospect was so highly touted.

With this severe injury it will be a long road to recovery, but Harrison won’t let the injury break him. In his picture on Twitter, he was all smiles, and though he faces a long comeback trail I expect the extremely talented prospect to get back to a high level as he returns and have a big part in future Brewers’ outfields. We at Reviewing the Brew wish him the best on a speedy recovery.
