Availability
Michael Harris II is back in the Braves lineup on Tuesday against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Harris has missed four of the past five games for Atlanta. He is hitting cleanup and starting in left field for the Braves.
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said that Michael Harris II is still considered day-to-day.
Fantasy Impact
Harris has been in and out of the Braves' lineup over the past week, with his most recent start coming as the designated hitter on Saturday. However, he sat out Sunday and is not in Monday’s lineup. Weiss said on Monday that there could come a point where Harris is placed on the IL if his quad does not improve. Fantasy managers should remain patient and prepare for a potential IL stint if there is no progress in the coming days.
Michael Harris II went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, two-run homer in Friday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
Harris is still dealing with a sore quad, but don't tell him that. With the game tied up at 6-6, the hot-hitting center fielder stepped to the plate as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and launched a Juan Mejia delivery into the right-field seats. That homer proved to be a game winner and was Harris' seventh deep shot of the season. Harris is now battling .327 with a .927 OPS through 109 plate appearances.
Michael Harris II will DH for most of the Braves road trip if his quad doesn’t get any worse.
Fantasy Impact
Harris will continue to be evaluated. It is possible he'll require a trip to the injured list if his quad issue doesn't improve.

Fantasy Impact
Harris pinch-hit in Friday's game where he came through with a two-run double. He is back in the lineup one day later.
