Braves' Michael Harris: Tallies 10th career triple in win
Rotowire
Harris went 3-for-5 with a triple and two RBI in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Reds.
The speedy center fielder raced around the bases Thursday for his first triple of the campaign and the 10th of his career. Harris has lost steady action as Atlanta's leadoff hitter to Alex Verdugo while Ronald Acuna (knee) continues to work his way back from the injured list, but Harris has remained productive in recent weeks. Over his last 19 outings, the 24-year-old is batting .273 (21-for-77) with one home run, five doubles, 16 RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases.

Rotowire
Harris went 1-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's win over Colorado.
The three RBI marked a season high by Harris, who is swinging a hot bat recently. The speedy center fielder is batting .333 (15-for-45) with one home run, four doubles, 12 RBI and four stolen bases across his last 11 outings. Harris has lost some opportunities as the leadoff hitter to Alex Verdugo of late, but the former is working to make his way back up the batting order in Ronald Acuna's (knee) stead.

Braves' Michael Harris: Plates two, swipes bag
Rotowire
Harris went 1-for-4 with a two-run double, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 win against Colorado.
Harris came up big in the fifth inning, recording a two-out, two-run double to break a 3-3 tie and chase Colorado starter Ryan Feltner. The star outfielder had scored the tying run one frame earlier after reaching on a fielder's choice, swiping second base and subsequently crossing the plate on a pair of infield singles. Harris' slash line is still a modest .243/.263/.374, but he's been coming on strong with a .350 batting average, nine RBI and four steals over his past 10 contests.

Braves' Michael Harris: Three hits in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Harris went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Cardinals.
Shifted back into the leadoff spot against right-hander Miles Mikolas with Alex Verdugo getting the day off, Harris continued a hot streak that has seen him bat .391 (9-for-23) over his last six games with a double, a homer, two steals, three runs and five RBI. The 24-year-old center fielder is slashing just .233/.250/.367 on the season, but he's added over 100 points to his OPS over the last week.
Braves' Michael Harris: Plates two, swipes bag in win
Rotowire
Harris went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Twins.
Harris delivered the game-tying hit, a two-run single, during Atlanta's eighth-inning rally. The outfielder had gone 0-for-15 across the previous four games, racking up six strikeouts and just one walk in that span. For the season, he's at a .197/.224/.310 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI, six runs scored, three steals on four attempts and two doubles over 19 contests. Given the struggles of Atlanta's other outfielders, Harris is in no danger of losing playing time yet.
Harris went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Rays.
He also made a brilliant catch in the first inning, as the wind knocked down a potential Christopher Morel homer to left-center field and forced Harris to reverse course at the last second before grabbing it on the warning track. Harris' own ninth-inning shot off Cole Sulser won the game for Atlanta and was his second homer of the season. The 24-year-old is batting .297 (11-for-37) over the last 10 games with four runs and five RBI.

Braves' Michael Harris: Homer, steal in win
Rotowire
Harris went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Rays.
Harris broke a ninth-inning tie with a two-run blast off Cole Sulser and also added his first steal of the season. The 24-year-old is off to a slow start overall, but he's tallied hits in six of nine April contests and continues to occupy the leadoff spot against right-handed pitching. On the year, he's hitting .231 with two home runs, five RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base across 58 plate appearances.
Braves' Michael Harris: Collects three hits in rout
Rotowire
Harris went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 10-0 win over the Marlins.
It was the second multi-hit game of the season for Harris, who doubled to lead off the first inning and singled to open the third. Until Ronald Acuna (knee) is cleared to return, Harris should continue to function as the No. 1 hitter in the Atlanta lineup -- at least against right-handed pitching -- due to Jurickson Profar's suspension. Dating back to last year, Harris is batting .281 (59-for-210) with 10 home runs, 24 RBI, 32 runs scored and two stolen bases in 51 games when batting first in the order.

Braves' Michael Harris: Hits leadoff in Monday's loss
Rotowire
Harris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday.
Atlanta was being shut out until Harris slugged a 424-foot solo homer in the eighth inning off Tanner Scott. The outfielder finished with half of his team's four hits, including Atlanta's only extra-base knock. The performance was a much-needed boost for Harris, as he came into Monday having gone just 1-for-15 with a 0:5 BB:K over his first four games. His fantasy value also looks to be on the upswing in others ways as well -- after batting sixth in the first four games of the season, Harris hit leadoff Monday in Atlanta's first game without Jurickson Profar (suspension), a spot he'll likely continue to occupy against right-handers until Ronald Acuna (knee) is back.
Braves' Michael Harris: Three hits in Monday's contest
Rotowire
Harris went 3-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.
The center fielder is heating up at the plate at the right time. Harris is batting .324 (11-for-34) this spring with two homers, two steals and a 1:6 BB:K, and he figures to hit fifth or sixth this season when the Atlanta lineup is at full strength. If he can stay healthy, Harris could be poised for his first career 20-20 campaign -- he has yet to play more than 138 games in a regular season since making his MLB debut in 2022.
