Michael Harris II News
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II smacked three hits and stole a base on Sunday, doing his best to lead the Braves in a crucial 4-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Harris certainly did his part, cracking three singles out of the leadoff spot. Unfortunately, the rest of the offense had trouble getting anything going and Harris failed to record any runs or RBI. The 23-year-old is heating up at the right time, as he had a .317/.343/.614 line with eight homers in September coming into this game. He will look to set the table for the Braves again on Monday and send them to the postseason. The hot finish to the season should remind fantasy managers of why they were willing to spend a third-round pick on Harris before the season. He will likely go for a discount next year, and savvy managers should buy the dip.

Michael Harris II Goes Deep Twice On Thursday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II went 3-for-5 at the plate with two home runs and four RBI on Thursday afternoon to lead the Braves to a statement victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The 23-year-old hit his first long ball of the afternoon in the eighth inning and went deep again in the following frame. Harris has launched four home runs in his past three games and is riding a three-game home runs streak. Since returning from the IL on August 14, Harris has gone deep ten times with a .254 AVG and .493 SLG. The budding outfielder missed a majority of the campaign due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain but looks to be rounding into form as the Braves hope to claim one of the final wild card spots. Harris should remain locked into all starting lineups during the final week of the season.

Michael Harris II Homers Twice In Tuesday's Win
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II played his part offensively in Tuesday's 12-0 rout of the Nationals. Harris II went 3-for-6 with a single, a pair of solo home runs, and a strikeout. The 23-year-old lined a fourth-inning MacKenzie Gore slider into the right-field bullpen and crushed a 38-MPH Ildemaro Vargas offering deep into the right-center seats in the ninth inning. Harris II has still not been able to replicate the success he found in his first two seasons, slashing .245/.285/.376 with 11 HR, 42 runs scored, 37 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 390 plate appearances while dealing with a strained left hamstring in the middle of the season.

Michael Harris II Homers In Tuesday's Win
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II homered in Tuesday night's 8-6 win against the Minnesota Twins. Harris went 2-for-5 in the ballgame, with his home run being a two-run shot off of the Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson in the second inning. The 23-year-old is a former top-100 prospect (MLB Pipeline) and is quietly having a productive season. In 80 games (310 at-bats), he is slashing .248/.295/.371 with eight homers, 30 RBI, 36 runs, and eight stolen bases. Harris is starting to heat up after homering twice over his last six games, and fantasy managers should continue to roll with him in all leagues.

Michael Harris II In The Lineup Against Twins
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hand) has returned to center field and is hitting sixth in the batting order on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins and rookie right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson at Target Field. Harris did not start the series opener on Monday after being hit in the hand by a pitch on Sunday against the Washington Nationals, but his injury was never believed to be serious, and he even came off the bench to pinch hit on Monday night. Infielder Whit Merrifield is serving as Atlanta's leadoff hitter on Tuesday after his five-hit performance on Monday, so Harris won't have as much DFS appeal against a right-hander. Since returning from a stint on the injured list on Aug. 14, Harris has just one multi-hit game and has gone 10-for-45 (.222) with two home runs, a double, eight RBI and 14 strikeouts in 12 games.

Michael Harris II Remains Out On Monday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This isn't too shocking, considering Harris was forced to exit early during Sunday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. Luckily, it appears Harris has avoided any fractures and should be ready to go in a few days. It doesn't sound like Harris will require a trip to the injured list, which is good news for fantasy managers. Jarred Kelenic will cover center field and bat seventh versus right-hander Bailey Ober on Monday. Kelenic is sporting a lowly .236 batting average, but he has 13 home runs and 39 RBI this season. He could be worth a look as a streaming option due to his power numbers while Harris is out.

Michael Harris II Exits Sunday's Game
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hand) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Harris was hit by a pitch in the left hand area during the first inning of Sunday's contest. Harris attempted to play through the issue, but he was subbed out for Jarred Kelenic. The assumption is that Harris will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. The 2024 season has been tough for Harris who has only been able to play in a little over 70 games. Hopefully, it's a minor injury and Harris can get back in the lineup within a few days. In the meantime, Kelenic figures to see increased playing time in the outfield. Kelenic is hitting .237 with 13 home runs and 39 RBI in 115 games this season. He could be worth a look in deep formats if Harris is forced to miss time.

Michael Harris II Collects Three Hits On Saturday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 victory over the Angels. Harris hit leadoff for the Braves and has collected a hit in each of the four games he's played since coming off of the IL, going 6-for-19 (.316) with a double, a home run, six RBI, and three runs scored. On the downside, the 23-year-old has yet to draw a walk in any of those four games and has struck out six times. Still, he's technically riding a nine-game hit streak that extends back prior to hitting the IL and he'll likely continue to hit out of the leadoff spot at least until Jorge Soler returns.

Michael Harris II Batting Leadoff In Second Game Back
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II made a grand return from the injured list in Wednesday night's beatdown of the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park and will start in center field and bat leadoff in Thursday's series finale against right-hander Logan Webb with Jorge Soler (hamstring) sitting out. Harris had just one hit in five at-bats in his long-awaited return from a hamstring injury on Wednesday, but the one hit was a first-inning grand slam that landed in McCovey Cove, and he drove in a total of five runs on the night. The 23-year-old faces a difficult matchup against Webb in his second game back from the injured list, but he's more attractive from a DFS perspective in the leadoff spot and has hit .625 with a homer and two RBI in eight career at-bats against Webb.

Michael Harris II Has Grand Return From Injured List
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II wasted no time in making his presence felt in the lineup when he came off the injured list on Wednesday, blasting a 423-foot grand slam in the first inning of Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Giants on the second pitch he saw, sending it splashing into McCovey Cove. The 23-year-old added another RBI later, although the home run was his lone hit of the game, finishing the day 1-for-5 with five RBI and a run scored. The former Rookie of the Year began the year hot, slashing .304/.339/.452 with five stolen bases over the first month, but went ice-cold before hitting the IL in mid-June. However, Harris was swinging a hot bat on his rehab assignment, plus he's a career .333 hitter in August and .298 in September, albeit a small sample size, so look for him to finish strong.
