Michael Harris II Confident He Can Return In Mid-August
4 months agoAtlanta 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.
