Michael Harris II In The Lineup Against Twins
3 months agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hand) has returned to center field and is hitting sixth in the batting order on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins and rookie right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson at Target Field. Harris did not start the series opener on Monday after being hit in the hand by a pitch on Sunday against the Washington Nationals, but his injury was never believed to be serious, and he even came off the bench to pinch hit on Monday night. Infielder Whit Merrifield is serving as Atlanta's leadoff hitter on Tuesday after his five-hit performance on Monday, so Harris won't have as much DFS appeal against a right-hander. Since returning from a stint on the injured list on Aug. 14, Harris has just one multi-hit game and has gone 10-for-45 (.222) with two home runs, a double, eight RBI and 14 strikeouts in 12 games.
