Jun 29 2025Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris will hit the bench for a second straight day after a run of 75 consecutive starts. The consecutive days off come while Harris has struggled mightily at the plate in June with a .148/.165/.261 slash line and 27.2 percent strikeout rate in 92 plate appearances. Eli White will receive another look in center field while Stuart Fairchild starts in left for Sunday's series finale versus Philadelphia.
Jun 28 2025Harris is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris is hitless in his last 19 at-bats and is just 2-for-39 in his last 11 outings. Amid his struggles, Atlanta will give Harris his second day off of the 2025 season, allowing for Eli White to man center field.
Jun 25 2025Harris (elbow) will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris was removed in the bottom of the sixth of Tuesday's 7-4 win after being hit in the right elbow by a pitch, but follow-up X-rays revealed no structural damage. The outfielder apparently isn't contending with much soreness or discomfort either, as Atlanta felt comfortable enough having Harris re-enter the lineup Wednesday. Harris heads into Wednesday's contest having gone just 3-for-35 (.086 average) with no walks and nine strikeouts over his last 10 games.
Jun 24 2025Harris (elbow) went 0-for-2 with a run scored before exiting Tuesday's eventual 7-4 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris was hit in the right elbow by a pitch in the sixth inning, causing his removal from the contest, but he revealed following the game that he didn't sustain any structural damage, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. The center fielder is considered day-to-day, and it wouldn't be surprising if Atlanta decided to give him the day off during Wednesday's meeting in New York. Stuart Fairchild or Eli White may be needed for a rare start in center field in that case, with the former having replaced Harris in Tuesday's tilt.
Jun 14 2025Harris went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder homered for the second straight game and the third time in the last six contests by taking Jake Bird deep in the sixth inning. Harris' glove has kept him in the lineup despite a brutal start to the year at the plate, but he may finally be finding a groove on offense as well -- over the last eight games he's batting .313 (10-for-32) with four runs and eight RBI.
Jun 12 2025Harris went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder opened the scoring for Atlanta by depositing a second-inning Chad Patrick cutter in the second deck in right field. Harris is showing faint signs of life at the plate, hitting safely in six of the last seven games while batting .286 (8-for-28) with two of his five homers on the season, but he still carries a career-worst .607 OPS on the season.
May 31 2025Harris went 3-for-4 with one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris singled in the second, fourth and sixth innings to register his first three-hit effort since May 8. The 24-year-old has hit safely in nine of his past 10 contests with seven RBI and three steals, though he's managed just two extra-base hits during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .239/.267/.344 with three home runs, 33 RBI, 13 runs scored and 10 steals across 234 plate appearances.
May 24 2025Harris went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder has steals in back-to-back games and is up to nine on the season in 11 attempts through 50 contests. It's a big improvement on 2024, when he went 10-for-16 on SB attempts in 110 games, but the rest of Harris' offensive performance continues to lag, as he's slashing just .225/.259/.340 with three homers, 12 runs and 29 RBI.
May 22 2025Harris went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris hadn't logged a steal since May 4 versus the Dodgers. Of course, it doesn't help that he hit .232 with a .302 on-base percentage over the 15 games between thefts, with five of his 13 hits in that span going for extra bases. The outfielder is up to 8-for-10 on stolen base attempts this season. While his speed is intact, he's struggled in nearly every other area, posting a .225/.259/.342 slash line, three home runs, 29 RBI, 12 runs scored, nine doubles and two triples through 49 contests. With Ronald Acuna (knee) set to make his season debut Friday, Harris is virtually guaranteed to be hitting in the bottom third of the order for the foreseeable future.
May 8 2025Harris went 3-for-5 with a triple and two RBI in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The speedy center fielder raced around the bases 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) works his way back into action, but the latter has remained productive in recent weeks. Over his last 19 outings, Harris is batting .273 (21-for-77) with one home run, five doubles, 16 RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases.
Apr 18 2025Harris went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 13 2025Harris went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 12 2025Harris 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 5 2025Harris went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 10-0 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 2 2025Harris is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris started the first six games of the season but will receive Wednesday off after beginning the campaign in a 3-for-23 slump. Eli White will receive a start in center field for the series finale in Los Angeles.
Mar 31 2025Harris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta was being shut out until Harris slugged a 424-foot solo homer in the eighth inning. 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.
Mar 18 2025Harris went 3-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Feb 17 2025Harris said Sunday that he feels healthy heading into spring training after a productive offseason, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. "I feel like I prepared perfectly this offseason," Harris said. "Now, I just have to do whatever I can to make sure I stay healthy." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: When asked by Bowman about whether a 30-steal, 30-homer season would be attainable in 2025, Harris wouldn't go as far to make any predictions about his statistical production, but the 23-year-old possesses the skill set to achieve the feat if his health cooperates. Harris has been slowed a bit by injuries in both of the past two seasons, with a lower back strain forcing a stint on the injured list in 2023 and a left hamstring strain sending him to the 60-day IL last summer. Over a 162-game pace in 2024, Harris produced 24 home runs and 14 steals, but his passivity on the basepaths in August and September may have been in part due to him avoiding a potential aggravation of the hamstring injury. With a clean bill of health entering the spring, Harris could be poised to increase his involvement as a base stealer in 2025 and make a serious challenge for a 30-30 campaign, and at the very least, his first 20-20 season. He finished one home run shy of the benchmark in 2022 and two home runs shy in 2023.
Sep 29 2024Harris went 3-for-5 with three singles and a stolen base during Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris generated his fifth three-hit performance of the last eight games and swiped his 10th stolen base of the campaign. During that eight-game stretch, Harris is 17-for-35 (.486) with three home runs, nine runs and seven RBI.
Sep 25 2024Harris went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old outfielder rapped an RBI double in the third inning to get Atlanta on the board before taking Luis Severino deep for a solo shot in the fourth. Harris has been on fire to close out September, slashing .417/.438/.850 over the last 13 games with seven homers, 13 RBI and 16 runs, and he's a big reason why his team is still even in the wild-card picture in the final week of the regular season.
Sep 19 2024Harris went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs, four total RBI and four total runs scored in Thursday's 15-3 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both of Harris' homers came off Reds' lefty Brandon Leibrandt, a solo shot in the eighth inning and a three-run blast in the ninth. The 23-year-old Harris has been on a tear, going 6-for-16 with four home runs in his last three games. He's now slashing .251/.291/.405 with 15 homers, 45 RBI, 51 runs scored and nine steals across 429 plate appearances this season.
Sep 18 2024Harris went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris lifted his 13th home run of the campaign Wednesday, tagging Justin Wilson for a solo shot in the eighth inning. Harris has gone yard in back-to-back games and has four homers in is last eight outings. During that stretch, Harris is 11-for-36 (.306) with seven runs, six RBI and a stolen base.
Sep 11 2024Harris went 3-for-6 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 12-0 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took MacKenzie Gore deep in the fourth inning before launching another homer off Ildemaro Vargas in the ninth. Harris is still struggling to find a groove at the plate, and time is running out on the regular season -- since returning from a hamstring injury in mid-August, he's slashing just .234/.259/.421 through 26 games, but he does have six of his 11 homers on the year during that stretch.
Sep 1 2024Harris went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris has gone 6-for-26 (.231) with two homers over his last six games. The outfielder has four homers over 18 games since he returned from a hamstring injury in mid-August. He's slashing .245/.289/.369 with nine homers, 31 RBI, 38 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 85 contests this season.
Aug 28 2024Harris went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took Simeon Woods Richardson deep in the second inning, Harris' eighth homer of the season and third in 13 contests since returning from the IL. The 23-year-old is slashing just .240/.296/.440 during that stretch, but he's been productive with six runs and 10 RBI.
Aug 27 2024Harris (hand) will start in center field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game in Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris exited Sunday's game versus the Nationals after being hit by a pitch and didn't start Monday, but he entered that contest off the bench and is feeling well enough to start Tuesday's game. He's down in the No. 6 spot in the lineup while Whit Merrifield hits leadoff, although that could be just a temporary setup.
Aug 26 2024Harris (hand) struck out in his lone at-bat during Monday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris entered the game as a defensive replacement to begin the bottom half of the sixth inning, and he ended up seeing one at-bat in the top of the eighth, striking out on three pitches. Manager Brian Snitker reported before Monday's game that he'd feel comfortable inserting Harris back into the lineup once the center fielder feels healthy enough to swing a bat, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, so this is likely a sign that Harris is nearing a return to health after being struck by a pitch on the hand Sunday against Washington. Even so, the 23-year-old's status will be worth keeping a close eye on over the next few days until he's given the green light to return to the starting lineup.
Aug 25 2024Atlanta announced after Sunday's loss to Washington that Harris avoided a hand fracture and is considered day-to-day, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris departed Sunday's contest with a left hand injury after being hit by a pitch, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The 23-year-old could be held out of the lineup for a couple days depending on whether he's dealing with much swelling, but he should be back in the lineup for Atlanta in the near future.
Aug 15 2024Harris went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Wednesday's win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris jumped on a hanging knuckle-curve from Robbie Ray in the opening frame and launched it 423 feet into the right field stands for a grand slam as Atlanta took a commanding lead early. It marked quite the return for the outfielder, who had been sidelined with a hamstring injury since the middle of June, as his five RBI on the night also marked a season high. Harris has now hit safely in each of his last six games, dating back to June 9 against the Nationals.
Aug 14 2024Atlanta activated Harris (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris missed two months of action with a Grade 2 strain of his left hamstring but is ready to return after going 10-for-23 with one home run in six rehab games with Triple-A Gwinnett. While he had been the team's primary leadoff man for the last couple weeks before getting hurt, Harris will bat lower in the order initially upon his return, with Jorge Soler remaining in the leadoff spot.
Aug 13 2024Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Harris (hamstring) will hit in the lower-middle of the lineup when he returns from the 60-day injured list Wednesday in San Francisco, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder had worked his way up to the leadoff spot before he suffered a Grade 2 strain of his left hamstring in mid-June, and Atlanta has had trouble finding a consistent replacement at the top of the order since then. Trade-deadline acquisition Jorge Soler is currently handling leadoff duties and has a .404 on-base percentage through his first 11 games with his new team, so Harris will rejoin the lineup in a less attractive spot for fantasy purposes.
Aug 12 2024Harris (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris has been out since June 15 while nursing a strained left hamstring, but he'll return from the 60-day IL when first eligible Wednesday. The outfielder has produced a .435 average with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored over six games with Triple-A Gwinnett while on a rehab assignment. Atlanta has had a rotating door at center field in recent weeks, something that Harris will amend upon his return. In 67 major-league contests this season, Harris has compiled a .250 average with five homers, 20 RBI, 30 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 260 at-bats.
Aug 6 2024Harris (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris is finally ready for game action after being sidelined for nearly two months with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. The center fielder is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list Aug. 14, and the expectation is he'll be ready to join Atlanta on that date.
Jul 26 2024Harris (hamstring) said Friday that he is confident that he will be able to return by Aug. 14, which is when he is eligible to reinstated from the 60-day injured list, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris was transferred to the 60-day IL on Wednesday due to his slow rehab progress for his strained left hamstring. He's been on the injured list since June 15, and while he hasn't been cleared to do full sprints, he has been running in short bursts, per David O'Brien of The Athletic. Prior to his injury, Harris was slashing .250/.295/.358 with eight stolen bases, five home runs and 20 RBI across 278 plate appearances.
Jul 24 2024Atlanta transferred Harris (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris was placed on the 10-day IL on June 15 due to a strained left hamstring and hasn't yet resumed sprinting, among other baseball activities. As such, his move to the 60-day IL won't have much affect on his timeline to return, as he was already looking unlikely to be ready to rejoin Atlanta by mid-August. The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster spot for lefty Zach Logue, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Jul 22 2024Harris (hamstring) has yet to progress to sprinting, Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris feels good as he works his way back from a left hamstring strain but is following doctor's orders as he slowly ramps things back up. He will need to show he's able to run at full speed before being cleared for a rehab assignment, and it's uncertain when that might happen. At the very least, Harris will remain out until early August.
Jul 18 2024Harris (hamstring) is still at least two or three weeks away from returning from the 10-day injured list, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder has yet to begin a rehab assignment as he recovers from a hamstring strain that's sidelined him since June 14. Harris was slashing a disappointing .250/.295/.358 prior to the injury, and in his absence, Jarred Kelenic has seized firm hold of the leadoff job. When Harris gets activated from the IL, expect him to hit in the bottom half of the order.
Jul 3 2024Harris (hamstring) began running Wednesday, but there's still no timetable for when he'll be ready for a rehab assignment, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain June 14 and was able to do some light running for the first time since sustaining the injury. Considering he still has multiple checkpoints to hit before being sent on a rehab assignment, Harris can safely be ruled out until after the All-Star break.
Jul 2 2024Harris (hamstring) could begin running soon, Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris is two-and-a-half weeks removed from suffering a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. There is no timetable yet for his return to Atlanta's active roster, but at this point it seems likely that he'll be held out until after the All-Star break. Jarred Kelenic has shifted over to center field to cover for Harris.
Jun 28 2024Harris (hamstring) has not yet been cleared to begin a running program, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris is two weeks removed from suffering a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, and while he's feeling better, it's not yet to the point where he's able to do any running. With just over two weeks until the All-Star break, it's possible Atlanta will hold Harris out until the start of the second half. Jarred Kelenic has been handling center field with Harris out.
Jun 15 2024Harris has a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and there isn't a timetable for his return, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after sustaining a strained hamstring in Friday's game against the Rays. An MRI revealed that Harris' strain is Grade 2, which means he'll likely be sidelined for more than the minimum 10 days. Ramon Laureano was called up to take Harris' 26-man roster spot.
Jun 14 2024Atlanta will place Harris (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris had to make an early exit from Friday's game versus Tampa Bay due to tightness in his left hamstring, and the team has already deemed his injury severe enough to warrant a trip to the IL. The 23-year-old outfielder will receive an MRI on his hamstring Saturday, at which point the team will have a better idea of how long he will be out for. In the meantime, Harris' absence opens a spot in Atlanta's outfield for J.P. Martinez to potentially see consistent playing time.
May 28 2024Harris went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Batting seventh in an Atlanta lineup that got juggled around in the wake of a season-ending knee injury to Ronald Acuna, Harris reached base twice for the fourth time in the last six games. The 23-year-old center fielder is still looking to regain his usual form, but he's showing signs of heating up -- over his last 16 contests, he's slashing .290/.333/.403 with two of his five homers and three of his eight steals on the year.
May 21 2024Harris went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris started May in a dreadful 0-for-26 slump, but he's snapped out of it by going 10-for-39 (.256) with two homers, two steals, four RBI and three runs scored over his last 10 contests. The outfielder is slashing .250/.289/.378 with five homers, seven steals, 17 RBI and 19 runs scored through 45 games this season. Harris hit over .290 and flirted with 20-20 years in each of his first two big-league campaigns, so there's still another level he can get back to as he rebounds from his slump.
May 15 2024Harris went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old center fielder snapped a 20-game homer drought by taking Jameson Taillon deep in the fourth inning, kicking off a six-run frame that blew the game wide open. Harris is just one of a number of Atlanta hitters who have had sluggish starts to the season -- Tuesday's long ball was his first extra-base hit of any kind since April 26 -- but he may be heating up, as he has five hits and two walks in the last four games, lifting his slash line on the year to .260/.305/.390.
Apr 24 2024Harris went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a run batted in during Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris notched his fifth multi-hit game of his last six appearances, capping off his three-hit day with a leadoff double in the 10th inning to score Ronald Acuna and cement an Atlanta win. He was caught stealing for the second time in seven attempts this season, preventing an even more lucrative stat line. Harris is batting .480 with four RBI, four stolen bases and four runs scored in his last six outings.
Apr 23 2024Harris went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Monday's win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the third multi-hit performance in the last four games for Harris, but his first multi-steal effort of the season. Through his first 93 plate appearances, the 23-year-old center fielder is slashing .307/.344/.466 with three homers, four stolen bases, 10 RBI and 14 runs.
Apr 20 2024Harris went 2-for-4 with a home run and scored two runs during Friday's win over Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-handed starter Andrew Heaney held Harris hitless in his two at-bats against him, but the 23-year-old outfielder singled in the sixth inning to set up a four-run frame for Atlanta, and his solo homer in the eighth gave the team an extra bit of insurance against the reigning World Series champions. Harris has now collected a hit in 12 of his last 13 games and is slashing .263/.276/.421 in that span.
Apr 16 2024Harris will start in center field and bat second for Atlanta in Tuesday's game in Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Ozzie Albies (toe) slated to miss some time, Harris figures to occupy the two hole in the Atlanta lineup indefinitely. It's a nice boost for his immediate fantasy outlook, as Tuesday is the first time this season he's batted higher than sixth. Harris is slashing .290/.333/.468 with two homers and one stolen base so far in 2024.
Apr 9 2024Harris went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old continued his blistering start to the season. Harris has four multi-hit performances against two blankings in Atlanta's first nine games, leading to a .361 (13-for-36) batting average with two homers, one steal, six RBI and eight runs scored.
Apr 8 2024Harris went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder put Atlanta ahead for good with a fourth-inning shot to right field off Ryne Nelson. Harris is off to a flying start to 2024, batting .344 (11-for-32) through eight games with two doubles, a triple, two homers, five RBI and seven runs scored.
Mar 31 2024Harris went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 12-4 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He capped the scoring for Atlanta with his first homer of the season in the ninth inning off Connor Brogdon. Harris has six hits in two games to begin the 2024 campaign and has batted sixth in both games while facing right-hander pitchers, both excellent signs that the 23-year-old center fielder could be poised to take his fantasy production to another level after slugging 37 homers and stealing 40 bases through his first 252 big-league games with a .295/.334/.494 slash line.
Mar 29 2024Harris went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three hits were singles, but it was a very productive opener for Harris. The 23-year-old center fielder hit sixth Friday against right-hander Zack Wheeler after batting ninth most of 2023, and if he hangs onto that assignment, Harris should easily be able to top the 57 RBI and 76 runs he compiled last season if he comes anywhere close to repeating his .293/.331/.477 slash line.
Mar 8 2024Harris went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old center fielder took Tanner Houck deep in the fifth inning, giving Harris his third homer of the spring in seven games. He's batting .444 (8-for-18) with a double and a steal in addition to his long balls, and while Atlanta seems confident Ronald Acuna (knee) will be ready for Opening Day, if he's forced to miss any time, Harris could find himself hitting leadoff rather than ninth to begin the campaign.
Feb 25 2024Harris went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 22-year-old center fielder went yard to lead off the game on the first pitch he saw from minor-leaguer Nathan Wiles. Harris will likely be hitting down toward the bottom of a stacked Atlanta lineup when the regular season begins, but he still scored 76 runs over 138 games in 2023 while mainly batting ninth, so that assignment is only a yellow flag for his RBI totals from a fantasy perspective. Harris still offers 20-20 upside, and perhaps even more if he takes a step forward with his production in his third MLB campaign.
Oct 9 2023Harris will start in center field and bat ninth Monday in Game 2 of the NLDS versus the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris batted sixth in Atlanta's Game 1 loss and will now plummet to the bottom of the batting order for the first time since Sept. 19. He was Atlanta's No. 9 hitter for much of the season, however, making 88 starts at that spot while making no more than 13 starts out of any other lineup spot. Harris batted .301/.334/.494 out of the nine hole during the regular season.
Sep 29 2023Harris isn't starting Friday against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Forrest Wall is starting in center field and batting ninth.
Sep 12 2023Harris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Phillies in the second game of a doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's matinee, Harris added two more hits and a solo blast off left-hander Gregory Soto in the nightcap. The 22-year-old Harris has been on a tear, hitting safely in 14 of his last 15 games while going 22-for-59 (.373) with four homers and a 1.038 OPS in that span.

Harris extended his hitting streak to 10 games with the blast, a stretch in which he's slashing .400/.415/.625, while the homer was his 14th of the season to go along with 20 steals and an .803 OPS in 116 contests.

The outfielder has gone 11-for-47 (.234) since Aug. 12, though he's had a pair of big games in that span. For the season, he's at a .287/.333/.456 slash line with 12 homers, 19 steals, 41 RBI, 57 runs scored, 20 doubles and three triples through 104 contests.
Aug 21 2023Harris (foot) will play center field and bat second Monday versus the Mets in his return to the lineup. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris was scratched ahead of Sunday's loss to the Giants due to a bruised right foot, but X-rays came back clean and he'll wind up missing just one start. The young outfielder has assumed the second spot in Atlanta's batting order since Ozzie Albies (hamstring) landed on the injured list.
Aug 20 2023Harris (foot) said after Sunday's game against San Francisco that he expects to be in the lineup Monday against the Mets, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris is dealing with a right foot contusion that caused him to be scratched from Sunday's lineup, but he underwent X-rays that came back negative. He'll likely miss minimal time due to the issue, which is encouraging as Atlanta gets ready for a six-game week.
Aug 19 2023Harris went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, a stolen base, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 4-0 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move from ninth to second in the order in the wake of an injury to Ozzie Albies (hamstring) hasn't cooled down Harris' bat. The 2022 NL Rookie of the Year is slashing .369/.417/.554 through 17 games in August with two homers, four steals, nine RBI and 15 runs.
Aug 15 2023Harris will bat second again Tuesday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris has officially moved into the No. 2 spot in Atlanta's lineup with Ozzie Albies (hamstring) now sitting on the 10-day injured list.

Aug 10 2023Harris went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta's nine-hole hitter racked up his third straight multi-hit performance and fifth in eight August contests. Harris continues to erase his tough beginning to the campaign -- as late as June 11 he had a batting average below the Mendoza Line at .190, but since then he's slashed an incredible .380/.407/.620 over 47 games with eight homers, nine steals, 24 RBI and 33 runs.
Aug 2 2023Harris went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He broke open a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the fifth inning by taking Patrick Sandoval deep, the center fielder's first long ball in almost a month and the first homer the Angels hurler had served up to a left-handed hitter in nearly two years. Harris then drove a Jacob Webb sweeper to straightaway center in the seventh to cap the scoring for Atlanta. Despite the power outage, Harris has stayed productive since the beginning of July, slashing .304/.345/.544 in his last 24 games with four homers, four steals, eight RBI and 11 runs.
Jul 26 2023Harris went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder swiped his 13th bag of the year and also shone on defense, starting an incredibly rare 8-3-5 triple play in the third inning -- the first triple play in the majors this season. Harris has hit safely in nine of 10 games since the All-Star break, batting .406 (13-for-32) over that stretch, but he's currently stuck in a 15-game homer drought.
Jul 17 2023Harris went 2-for-4 with his 12th stolen base of the season in Sunday's loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Atlanta's offense got stymied by Dylan Cease and the Chicago bullpen, but Harris still found a way to be productive. The 22-year-old has cooled off a bit in July, batting .243 (9-for-37) over his last 11 games, but he's still added two homers, three steals, five RBI and six runs to his ledger during that stretch.
Jul 3 2023Harris went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs in a 4-2 victory versus Cleveland on Monday.

The 22-year-old outfielder has completely shaken off his early season struggles in June, and over his last 19 games Harris is slashing an eye-popping .425/.434/.740 with five of his seven homers and 14 of his 22 RBI on the year.
Jun 23 2023Harris went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Phillies.

Jun 14 2023Harris went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, a stolen base, three runs scored and four RBI during a 10-7 win over the Tigers in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While he followed up that effort with an 0-for-4 showing in the nightcap, it was still another sign that Harris has finally shaken out of the slump that he's been in since returning from the injured list in late April. Over his last eight games, the 22-year-old has gone 14-for-31 (.452) with four multi-hit performances, three doubles, three home runs, two steals, seven runs and eight RBI.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been a struggle in 2023 for Harris, but for one night at least he looked every bit the dynamic player that won NL Rookie of the Year honors last season. Harris was instrumental Wednesday in leading Atlanta to a comeback win, doubling home a run to tie the score in the sixth inning and producing the game-winning runs with a two-run shot to center field in the eighth. This was just his third multi-hit game of the season, and the three RBI were the most he's logged in a contest so far this year. Harris had been mired in a 3-for-29, 12-strikeout stretch coming into the game, and he's still slashing a paltry .181/.261/.291 overall.
May 29 2023Harris went 1-for-4 with three runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was an odd box score line, but the 22-year-old outfielder was hit by a pitch and reached on a fielder's choice in addition to a fifth-inning single, and he came around to score each time. Harris' numbers on the season remain rough, but he's teased a breakout over the last week and is finding ways to contribute -- Sunday's steal was his fifth of the year and first since May 10.
May 27 2023Harris went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His fifth-inning shot off Taijuan Walker gave Atlanta its only lead of the game. Harris is beginning to show signs of breaking out of his prolonged slump, but in 22 games since returning from the injured list he's still slashing only .169/.250/.296 with both his homers and two of his four steals on the season.
May 23 2023Harris is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

May 10 2023Harris went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The steal was Harris' second in the last three games and his fourth of the season.

May 7 2023Harris went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 win over Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris stole his third base of the year after drawing a walk in the 10th inning before eventually ending the game in the 12th, driving in Ozzie Albies with a walk-off double. Harris has been hampered by injuries early this season -- he's now 5-for-22 with two doubles and a home run since returning from a back injury that kept him sidelined for just under a month. Overall, the reigning NL Rookie of the Year is slashing .222/.314/.356 with four extra-base hits, seven runs scored and four RBI through his first 51 plate appearances this season.
May 6 2023Harris (knee) will bat eighth and play center field Saturday against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris had missed the last two days with a jammed right knee, costing him a bit more time after back troubles had already robbed him of three weeks in April. He's hit an unremarkable .237/.310/.368 when available, though that comes in a tiny sample of 12 games.
May 5 2023Harris (knee) is not in the starting lineup Friday against Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris will sit for the second straight game Friday as he nurses a sore right knee, which he jammed Wednesday versus Miami.

Sam Hilliard will draw the start in center field and bat eighth in Atlanta's series opener with the Orioles.
May 4 2023Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Harris (knee) will be available off the bench Thursday in Miami, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Harris is out of the starting lineup after jamming his right knee Wednesday, but it's not a serious injury. Snitker noted that the young center fielder was due for some rest anyway as he works into form following a lower-back strain that cost him much of April. He should be a full-go for Atlanta's three-game weekend series against the Orioles.
May 3 2023Harris won't be placed on the injured list after jamming his right knee Wednesday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.
