Michael Harris II Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II had his third straight multi-hit game on Thursday in the team's 9-3 win over the division-rival Miami Marlins, going 2-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .298 and his OPS to .848. It was Harris' eighth career multi-home run game, and his second already this season. In 18 games and 68 plate appearances so far in May, he has gone 18-for-67 (.269) with five home runs, a double, nine RBI, 11 runs scored, and a stolen base. Fantasy managers have to love what they've seen from the 25-year-old former third-rounder in 2019 after he had his first 20-20 campaign with a career-high 86 RBI in 160 games played in 2025 in his fourth year in the big leagues. Harris had a career-worst .678 OPS last year despite hit 20-20 season, but so far in 2026, he has an .848 OPS with 11 total home runs, 29 RBI, 22 runs scored, and three steals in 48 games played across 176 plate appearances. Keep riding him during his current hot streak as the team goes into a series this weekend against the division-rival Washington Nationals.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) is missing a second straight game on Monday in the series opener in Seattle against the Mariners, according to MLB.com. Harris missed a couple of games late last week with a left-quadriceps injury before returning to Saturday's contest against the Colorado Rockies as the designated hitter. Apparently, he's had a setback, though, as he's now sitting for a second straight game to begin the new week. Mauricio Dubon will start in center field for Atlanta and will hit cleanup for the Braves on Monday against Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert. Consider Harris day-to-day for now, but if he doesn't improve soon, he could land on the 10-day injured list to allow his quad injury to fully heal. Fantasy managers are just hoping the quad injury doesn't interrupt Harris' hot hitting at the plate. Through 32 games in 2026, he's slashing .321/.354/.557 with a .911 OPS, seven home runs, 22 RBI, 13 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 113 plate appearances. Harris had his first 20-20 campaign in 2025 and has had exactly 20 stolen bases in three of his four seasons in the big leagues. UPDATE: Harris is being considered day-to-day.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quad) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Harris returns to the starting lineup after missing two consecutive starts due to left quad soreness. He did come off the bench and hit a go-ahead home run during Friday's win. He appears to be healthy enough to rejoin the lineup, but he'll remain at designated hitter for this one. Through 31 games, Harris is slashing .324/.358/.569 with seven homers, 22 RBI, and two steals. The 25-year-old should be rostered and started in all fantasy formats right now.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener in Denver against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, per MLB.com. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field for Atlanta and will bat fifth against Rockies veteran left-hander Jose Quintana. Jorge Mateo is starting at the 6 for the Braves. Harris is being considered day-to-day for now, but if he cannot return during the weekend series in Colorado, he could land on the 10-day injured list after coming down with quadriceps tightness the other day. It's a really bad time for the 25-year-old to be injured after his really hot start to the 2026 season. Going into Friday's games, Harris is slashing .317/.352/.535 with an .887 OPS, six home runs, 20 RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 101 at-bats. Both Dubon and Eli White are options to replace Harris in center field for the Braves if he continues to miss time beyond Friday's contest. Fantasy managers should check back on Saturday for an update on Harris and to see if he's back in the lineup for Game 2 in Denver.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) is dealing with a left-quad injury and will serve as the designated hitter for most of the team's upcoming road trip if his injury doesn't get any worse, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. However, if there's no improvement, Harris could be placed on the 10-day injured list. Now we know why Harris was out of the starting lineup for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Tigers in the series finale. The Braves head to Denver this weekend for a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies before heading to Seattle to face the Mariners early next week. Hopefully, the left-handed-hitting Harris can rest up while DH'ing and stay off the IL. The 25-year-old former third-rounder in 2019 has been one of the league's hottest hitters with April coming to an end, slashing .320/.355/.540 with an .895 OPS, six home runs, 20 RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases in his first 29 games in 2026. Eli White, who got the start in center field on Thursday, will see more playing time in the outfield on the team's upcoming road trip, but he offers little upside at the plate for fantasy managers.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II will take a seat for Thursday's series finale against the visiting Detroit Tigers with left-hander Framber Valdez on the mound, according to MLB.com. Eli White will make the start in center field for the Braves and will bat ninth. Harris typically starts against lefties, so this is probably just a good time for the Braves to give him a day off. He's gone 7-for-28 (.250) in 30 plate appearances against southpaws so far this year and has one of his six home runs on the season against them. Overall, Harris has been great in 2026, slashing .320/.355/.540 with an .895 OPS, six long balls, 20 RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 29 games played. He's gone 18-for-38 (.474) with four of his six homers in 12 games across the last two weeks. There aren't many players hotter than Harris in the first month of the season, and he should be back in Atlanta's starting nine for their series opener in Colorado against the Rockies on Friday.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quad) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Harris made an early exit from Thursday's game due to left quad tightness. He was originally penciled into the lineup on Friday, but was scratched due to the injury. He was able to come into the game as a pinch hitter and appears to be fully healthy now. Harris will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth against right-hander Zack Wheeler on Saturday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly ahead of first pitch.

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said that outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Braves removed Harris from Thursday's win over the Washington Nationals early as a precaution with left-quadriceps tightness, and now he'll miss another game. Weiss said that Harris remains day-to-day, and the team doesn't expect him to have to land on the 10-day injured list. Eli White will take over again for Harris in center field on Friday and will bat ninth for the Braves versus Phillies rookie right-hander Andrew Painter. Harris' fantasy managers are hoping his minor quad injury doesn't interrupt his hot hitting at the plate of late. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter has gone 13-for-23 (.565) with four home runs, two doubles, nine RBI, and six runs scored in his last seven games, dating back to April 17. Check back on Saturday for Game 2 of the series against the Phillies to see if Harris is reinserted into the starting nine.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) is starting in center field and is batting fifth for the Braves in Friday's series opener at Truist Park against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies and rookie right-hander Andrew Painter, per MLB.com. Harris was removed from Thursday's series finale against the Washington Nationals early as a precaution due to left-quad tightness, but he's back in the starting nine a day later and is looking to stay hot at the plate this weekend. The 25-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder got off to a slow start initially in 2026, but the former third-rounder has hit an incredible .447/.488/.895 with five home runs in his last 11 games to raise his season slash line to .318/.356/.565 with a .920 OPS in 90 plate appearances. Harris is up to six home runs and has also contributed 16 RBI, 11 runs, and two steals in 24 total games. Get him back into your starting fantasy lineups on Friday. Harris is 2-for-2 with a solo home run in his two career at-bats against Painter.

The Atlanta Braves announced that outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) was pulled from Thursday's 7-2 win over the Washington Nationals early as a precaution with left-quadriceps tightness. Before Harris was pulled from the game, he was going off at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two RBI. He was removed in the seventh inning of this contest after doubling in the top of the inning. Harris has been among the hottest hitters in the league of late, hitting .447 with five home runs over his last 11 games, so it would be a terrible time for him to go on the 10-day injured list. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to see if Harris is feeling good enough to give it a go for the series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. Eli White took over for Harris in center field on Thursday and would see a notable bump in playing time in the short term if Harris misses any additional time with his quad injury.
