Ronald Acuna Jr. Out On Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (calf) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Miami Marlins. The 25-year-old phenom left Friday's contest early with calf tightness so the Braves want to give him an extra day to rest up. This move makes sense with the NL East division already clinched and the playoffs right around the corner. However, this still impacts fantasy managers, who are likely in the middle of a playoff race themselves if they roster Acuna Jr., so he should be considered day-to-day. Acuna Jr. is slashing an absurd .337/.418/.586 with 37 home runs, 98 RBI, and a league-leading 66 stolen bases over 597 at-bats on the season. The National League MVP award is as good as his. Michael Harris II is batting leadoff in his place on Saturday against Marlins starter Bryan Hoeing.

Michael Harris II Back In Starting Lineup

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (foot) is back in center field and is batting in the two-hole on Monday against the visiting New York Mets and left-hander David Peterson. Harris will return to action for the start of a series against the division-rival Mets after being scratched from Sunday's lineup with a bruised right foot. X-rays came back negative. Fantasy managers should return last year's National League Rookie of the Year to all of their starting lineups. He's been excellent again in his sophomore campaign, hitting .287/.336/.454 with 11 home runs, 37 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 53 runs scored in 100 games. Harris has even been solid against lefties, going 23-for-78 (.295) against them with three of his 11 long balls on the year.

Michael Harris II Avoids Serious Injury

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (foot) sat out of Sunday's game after fouling a ball off his foot during Saturday's contest. The Braves were going to let Harris play on Sunday, but ultimately scratched him from the lineup due to a foot contusion. The 22-year-old underwent further testing, which came back as negative for any fractures. At the moment, fantasy managers should consider Harris as day-to-day. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Braves hold out Harris for a few days until he's back to 100 percent.

Michael Harris II Scratched With Foot Contusion

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (foot) has been scratched from Sunday's lineup against the San Francisco Giants with a right-foot contusion. Kevin Pillar will take his place in center field and bat seventh in the order against Giants right-hander Jakob Junis. Fantasy managers should consider Harris to be day-to-day after he fouled a ball off his foot in the game on Saturday. Check back on Monday to see if the 22-year-old is feeling good enough to start the series opener against the division-rival New York Mets. After winning the National League Rookie of the Year in 2022, Harris has followed it up with another solid season in 2023. He's currently batting .287/.336/.454 with 11 home runs, 19 doubles, three triples, 37 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 53 runs scored in 100 games.

Michael Harris II In The Two-Hole Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II is starting in center field and batting second again on Tuesday against right-hander Luis Severino and the visiting New York Yankees. Harris will get a boost in his fantasy value while hitting higher in Atlanta's lineup now that second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is on the injured list. After winning the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2022, Harris has followed it up by hitting .288 (95-for-330) with 11 home runs, 18 doubles, two triples, 36 RBI, 16 stolen bases and 52 runs scored in 361 plate appearances and 96 games. The 22-year-old missed some time in April due to injury, but he's stayed healthy since and is hitting a strong .373 (19-for-51) with two homers, three doubles, eight RBI, three steals and 14 runs in 14 starts in August. Keep him in your starting fantasy lineups.

Michael Harris II Clobbers Two Homers In Victory

Atlanta Braves center fielder Michael Harris II went 2-for-3 with two home runs in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The 22-year-old smashed a fifth-inning go-ahead blast before crushing another bomb in the seventh frame for his second two-HR display of the year. Harris' painfully-slow start is hurting his ability to pay off his early-round ADP from spring drafts, but he has nonetheless settled in within fantasy circles as a strong collective source of average, speed, and power. The speedy slugger has hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games and is also riding a hot .364 BA (51-for-140) with eight big flies, 19 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 40 outings since June 12. Harris' RBI upside is curbed by hitting ninth every day, but fantasy managers won't complain about the recent returns.

Michael Harris II Looking To Stay Hot Against Arizona

Atlanta Braves outfielderMichael Harris II, slashing .262/.313/.426 for the season, is on the rise over the last five games, batting .375/.474/.438. Versus righties at home this season, Harris has a slash line of .298/.346/.479 with a.825 OPS and 118 wRC+. The 22-year-old contributed to last night's loss against Arizona with one hit and one RBI, and he looks to continue breaking out of his sophomore slump tonight versus Arizona's right-handerRyne Nelson. Harris is batting ninth in Wednesday's game but remains a solid DFS play at his $4,000 price tag on DraftKings in a plus matchup against Nelson.

Michael Harris II Raps Two Homers To Continue Resurgence

Atlanta Braves center fielder Michael Harris II went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's 4-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. The 22-year-old carries on a remarkable comeback after a painfully sluggish start perhaps slowed by a back injury earlier this year. Since June 7, Harris is hitting .416 (37-for-89) with seven homers, 16 RBI, and five stolen bases. The loaded Braves lineup perhaps won't call for Harris' bat to move up the order, but he is finally beginning to look the part of the player who was commonly selected as a third-round fantasy pick this past spring. Harris' revamped triple-slash line reads .269/.317/.453 with nine big flies, 24 RBI, and 10 swipes over 230 plate appearances this season.
