Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hamstring) feels confident that he can return by Aug. 14, when he's eligible to come off the 60-day injured list. Harris is making slow progress from a left-hamstring strain that put him on the 15-day injured list on June 15. The Braves moved him to the 60-day IL on Wednesday because of his slow recovery. In addition to missing extended time in 2024, the 23-year-old has been a disappointment offensively for the Braves, slashing .250/.295/.358 with a career-low .653 OPS, only five home runs, 20 RBI and eight stolen bases in 67 games played. With Harris injured and Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) out for the season, Atlanta has been hurting for outfield production. Harris deserves to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues until he can return in mid-August. Until that happens, Jarred Kelenic will continue to start in center field regularly.
The Atlanta Braves put Michael Harris II (hamstring) on the 60-day injured on Wednesday. Harris has already been on the IL since June 15 due to a strained left hamstring and wasn't going to be back before 60 days even if he began a minor-league rehab assignment imminently, which he's not doing. He began light running exercises on July 3, but the center fielder still has no clear timeline for a return to the Braves. Despite slashing a poor .250/.295/.358 with five home runs, 20 RBI, 30 runs scored, and eight stolen bases over 278 plate appearances this year, the 23-year-old star outfielder should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues. For the time being, veterans Adam Duvall and Eddie Rosario will continue to form a platoon for at-bats in center field in Atlanta.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hamstring) continues to run but has not graduated to a full sprint yet as he rehabs his hamstring injury. Harris said his left hamstring feels good and he's just trusting the process and the team's timing to ramp back up. He's trying to avoid any and all potential setbacks. 929 The Game's Grant McAuley guesses that the earliest we'll see Harris back in the big leagues for the Braves will be mid-August, as he still needs to go out on a minor-league rehab assignment to test his hamstring. Fantasy managers are going to need to remain patient with the 23-year-old, who was hitting a disappointing .250 (65-for-260) with five homers, 20 RBI and eight steals in 260 at-bats before straining his hammy. Jarred Kelenic will continue serving as Atlanta's regular center fielder with Harris out.
The Athletic's David O'Brien suggests that Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hamstring), who has already missed a month with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, could be out at least another two or three weeks. Harris has been out since June 14, and fantasy managers cannot expect him to be back in their lineups until at least August. Along with his injury, Atlanta's starting center fielder has hit a disappointing .250 (65-for-260) with five home runs, 20 RBI, eight stolen bases and 30 runs scored in 2024. The 23-year-old hit a combined .295 with 37 home runs, 121 RBI and 40 stolen bases in his first two years in the big leagues for the Braves. Harris' absence has mostly benefitted Jarred Kelenic, who has taken over the leadoff spot in Atlanta's batting order and is receiving regular playing time in the outfield.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hamstring) has yet to test his hamstring by running, but that could happen soon. As a result, Harris still doesn't have a timetable for his return from the injured list. The 23-year-old center fielder continues to work his way back from a Grade 2 left-hamstring stain and won't be back for the Braves or fantasy managers before the All-Star break in mid-July. Harris deserves to be stashed in all fantasy formats in an IL spot while he recovers, though, and Jarred Kelenic will continue to serve as Atlanta's primary center fielder for as long as Harris remains sidelined. After hitting nearly .300 in each of his first two seasons in the big leagues, Harris has disappointed so far in 2024 with a .250/.295/.358 slash line, five home runs, 20 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 278 trips to the plate and 67 games.
