Michael Harris II's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
