UPDATE: Harrison left the game with "left ankle discomfort," the Pirates announced. He is receiving treatment and will continue to be evaluated.

The Pirates beat the Cubs in the continuation of their suspended game on Saturday afternoon (PIT 5, CHC 3), but in the process they lost one of their best players. The ultra-versatile Josh Harrison left the game in the 11th inning with an apparent left leg injury after roaming into the outfield to make a catch.

Here's the play:

The trainer came out to look at Harrison and he eventually walked off the field under his own power. There was basically no lobbying to stay in.

Harrison, 27, came into Saturday hitting .314/.347/.513 (140 OPS+) with 33 doubles, seven triples, 13 home runs and 17 stolen bases. That includes a .337/.366/.598 (173 OPS+) batting line with 18 doubles and eight homers in 45 second half games.

Harrison, who was a deserving All-Star this year, has taken over as Pittsburgh's everyday third baseman (though he was playing short on Saturday) and leadoff hitter. The Pirates are 1.5 games back of the second wild-card spot and losing their best non-Andrew McCutchen player would be a huge blow.

The Pirates have not yet released an update on Harrison.
