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.

Harris went 1-for-4 with three runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

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 (knee) is not in the starting lineup Friday against Baltimore.

Harris will sit for the second straight game Friday as he nurses a sore right knee, which he jammed Wednesday versus Miami. The outfielder was available off the bench Thursday, so he should be expected to be back in the lineup sooner rather than later. Sam Hilliard will draw the start in center field and bat eighth in Atlanta's series opener with the Orioles.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Harris (knee) will be available off the bench Thursday in Miami, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harris is out of the starting lineup after jamming his right knee Wednesday, but it's not a serious injury.

He should be a full-go for Atlanta's three-game weekend series against the Orioles.

Harris (knee) is out of the lineup Thursday against the Marlins, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harris won't be placed on the injured list after jamming his right knee Wednesday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Although he won't land back on the IL immediately after returning from a back injury Friday, Harris will miss at least one game so that his knee can heal. Sam Hilliard figures to serve as Atlanta's center fielder while Harris is out.

Harris was removed from Wednesday's game against Miami as a precaution after jamming his right knee.

Harris was pulled from Wednesday's game against the Marlins with an apparent knee injury, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harris took an awkward tumble after running to first base trying to beat out a ground ball. He came up grabbing at his right knee, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Atlanta will take a look at him and should provide an update relatively soon.

Harris is not in the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Sam Hilliard takes over in center field, batting seventh against right-hander Tylor Megill. Harris went 1-for-3 with a walk in the matinee. It was just his second game back from the injured list after missing three weeks with a back strain.

Harris was activated from the 10-day injured list by Atlanta on Friday.

Harris needed just two rehab games with Triple-A Gwinnett, going 1-for-7 with a stolen base. The star outfielder has been on the shelf since early April with a lower-back strain but is ready to roll for his team's big weekend series in New York against the Mets.

Harris (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

It has yet to be determined how many games Harris will spend with the Stripers, but has been previously reported that the outfielder is expected to rejoin Atlanta for their series against the Mets. The outfielder has been out of action since the early part of April with a strained lower back, but assuming there are no setbacks in his time in the International League, Harris should be patrolling center field as an everyday option for the Atlanta in the next couple of days.

Harris (back) has been cleared to start a rehab assignment and is expected to be activated in time for Atlanta's weekend series against the Mets, if not sooner, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

It's not clear when and where exactly the rehab assignment will take place, but Harris was cleared for game action after getting through a workout at Truist Park on Monday. The reigning National League Rookie of the year has been on the shelf since early April with a lower-back strain, but it sounds like he'll be patrolling center field for Atlanta again soon enough.

Harris (back) did some sprinting and took live batting practice Monday at Truist Park, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Harris took part in batting practice before Saturday's game against the Astros, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harris has been able to hit off the tee since being played on the injured list with a lower back strain, but this is the first time the outfielder has been able to participate in an actual BP. The talented 22-year-old will likely need at least a week of rehab games because he's been out of action so far, but he should be able to patrol the outfield for Atlanta around the start of May.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Harris (back) still hasn't been cleared to take batting practice, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harris has been on the injured list since April 7 with a lower back strain and it will remain difficult to map out a timetable for his return until he resumes taking swings against live pitching. He seems unlikely to be activated before the end of the month, unless things change in a hurry. Sam Hilliard and Eli White have been commanding most of the starts in center field for Atlanta over the last two weeks.

When asking Wednesday whether Harris (back) would be ready to return during the Braves' April 21-27 homestand, manager Brian Snitker said he did not know, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It was initially expected to be a short absence for Harris when he was placed on the injured list with a lower-back strain on April 7. However, he hasn't progressed as quickly as hoped and it's unclear when he might be allowed to resume full baseball activities. His return date is uncertain.

Despite Harris (back) saying Saturday he would take batting practice in a coming days, he still hasn't progressed to hitting in the cage, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "Same place he's been," Braves manager Brian Snitker said. "Just rehabbing. It's not there yet."

He can be activated as early as April 17. Sam Hilliard is covering center for Atlanta on Friday night against the Padres. Eli White and Ronald Acuna could mix in there too.

Harris (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Harris slammed into the outfield wall last night versus the Padres and picked a lower back strain, which will now sideline him for at least 10 days. The outfielder was originally considered day-to-day by manager Brian Snitker, so at least the injury is likely considered relatively minor. Eli White was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday to replace Harris on the major-league roster.

Harris is considered day-to-day after banging his back on the outfield wall in Thursday's game against the Padres, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

Harris was pulled in the fourth inning of the game, though Atlanta quickly announced the move was made out of precaution. It was originally speculated that he injured his back on a stolen base attempt in the second inning, though that turned out to not be the case. Most importantly, it appears that Harris should be able to re-enter the lineup in short order.

Harris exited Thursday's game with lower back tightness.

Harris was pulled in the fourth inning from the matchup against the Padres, though the team deemed his exit precautionary. Assuming further evaluation reveals nothing more serious, Harris should have a chance to return at some point during Atlanta's weekend series against San Diego.

Harris exited Thursday's game against the Padres in the fourth inning, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

It's unclear why Harris was pulled, though he did get up slowly after sliding into second base earlier in the game. Sam Hilliard took over for him in center field.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals.

The 22-year-old outfielder stole 20 bases in 22 attempts for Atlanta in only 114 games en route to the NL Rookie of the Year Award, and it took six games for Harris to open his account in that category in 2023. He's had a quiet start overall, batting .227 (5-for-22) with his only extra-base hit being a double, but his 2:5 BB:K doesn't suggest he's struggling. It's only a matter of time before hits start falling in for Harris more frequently.

Harris (back) will start in center field and bat fifth in Saturday's split-squad game against the Twins.

Back tightness resulted in Harris being scratched from Friday's game, but Atlanta said all along that it was a precautionary measure.

Harris is 9-for-38 with two home runs and two stolen bases so far this spring.

Harris (back) is expected to return to Grapefruit League action Saturday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Harris was scratched from Atlanta's lineup Friday against Boston because of back tightness, but it doesn't seem to be much of a concern. He should be in center field for the reigning NL East champs on Opening Day next Thursday.

Harris was scratched from Atlanta's spring training game against Boston on Friday due to back tightness, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

He was reportedly removed from the lineup as a precaution, and the issue doesn't seem to be of very high concern. While he sits, Sam Hilliard will take his spot in center field.

Harris went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.

Hitting third in the order, the young center fielder ripped a Tyler Wells offering down the right-field line in the first inning for his first homer of the spring.

Harris was named the Jackie Robinson National League Rookie of the Year on Monday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harris received 22 first-place votes and eight second-place votes, as his only real competition was teammate Spencer Strider, who ended up with eight first-place votes. There's no doubt as to why Harris won this year's award, slashing .297/.339/.514 with 19 home runs, 64 RBI, 20 stolen bases (in 22 attempts) and 75 runs scored over 114 contests.

Atlanta signed Harris to an eight-year, $72 million contract extension on Tuesday which includes a $15 million club option for 2031 and a $20 million club option for 2032.

The 21-year-old, who went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Tuesday's win over the Mets, was promoted for his big-league debut in late May, and he has a .292/.330/.508 slash line with 12 home runs, 39 RBI and 13 stolen bases through his first 70 games in the majors. Atlanta wasted little time in offering an extension and continued the trend of securing their young talent long before free agency, and Harris is now under team control for the next decade.

Harris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over Miami.

Harris doubled in the seventh inning before belting a game-tying shot to lead off the ninth. The star rookie improved his slash line to .293/.331/.512 with 28 extra-base hits and 44 runs scored through 69 games. He's gone 15-for-42 (.357) with three home runs and three steals in 13 appearances this month.

Harris (foot) went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Mets.

Harris provided RBI singles in the fifth and seventh innings, and he added a steal during his second trip on the bases. The 21-year-old missed a game after he was hit by a pitch on the foot Tuesday, but it wasn't expected to be a long-term issue. This was his first multi-hit effort since July 26, as the rookie has cooled down at the plate a bit. Harris still has a strong .286/.324/.481 slash line with nine home runs, 12 steals, 32 RBI and 36 runs scored through 59 contests this year.

Harris (foot) is starting Thursday against the Mets.

Harris was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a sore right foot, but he'll start in center field and bat ninth a day later. Over his last five games, he's gone 2-for-15 with three runs, a walk and six strikeouts.

Harris was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Phillies due to right foot soreness.

Harris was hit by a pitch Tuesday against Philadelphia and will be held out of the lineup a day later. He should be considered day-to-day for now, while Guillermo Heredia will take his place in center field and bat ninth.

Harris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Though he didn't receive a promotion to the big leagues from Double-A Mississippi until late May, Harris is rapidly closing in on becoming the 18th player this season to record double-digit home runs and stolen bases. He's already nabbed 11 steals -- in as many attempts -- through 201 plate appearances, and his third-inning blast Tuesday off Aaron Nola now bring him to nine home runs on the season. For all his success, Harris remains stuck at the bottom of the lineup, but the rookie will get his first look in the leadoff role in Wednesday's series finale while Ronald Acuna rests for the day game, according to Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

The rookie extended his modest hitting streak to six games while swiping his 11th bag of the season. It looked like the league's pitchers might have figured Harris out prior to the All-Star break, as he went 2-for-24 with 11 strikeouts over the seven games prior to this streak, but the mini-surge has pushed his slash line back up to .287/.320/.484 through his first 52 big-league contests.

Harris went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and three stolen bases in a 6-3 victory over Washington on Saturday.

Harris singled and stole second in the fourth inning, walked, stole second and scored in the seventh and doubled and stole third in the ninth. The three times on base mark the fifth occasion in 47 games the rookie has done so, and he's one of only two players who's recorded double digit thefts with under 50 games played. Harris is slashing an impressive .284/.320/.503 with eight home runs, 30 runs and 26 RBI.

Harris went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

The rookie's fifth-inning blast off Anibal Sanchez gave Atlanta a lead it wouldn't relinquish. Harris has cooled off overall, batting only .192 (10-for-52) over his last 15 games, but he's still supplying plenty of fantasy value -- he's launched five of his eight big-league homers during that stretch with three steals, 10 runs and 11 RBI.

Harris went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

The rookie had a relatively quiet day by the standards he's established early in his career, but he still found a way to contribute some fantasy value. Harris has slowed down a bit so far in July, batting .222 (8-for-38) through the first 10 games on the month, but he's still slugged three of his seven homers and stolen three of his seven bags on the year during that stretch.

Harris went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 12-2 rout of the Nationals.

The rookie continues to hit ninth for Atlanta despite an electric start to his big-league career, but Harris is producing incredible fantasy value nonetheless. Through his first 39 games in the majors, the 21-year-old is slashing .310/.342/.542 with seven homers, six steals, 24 RBI and 28 runs, and all while playing Gold Glove-caliber defense in center field.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a run and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 7-1 win against the Cardinals.

Harris did all his damage in the third inning, when he singled, stole second and third and scored. The 21-year-old has slumped through the beginning of July -- going 2-for-16 in five games -- however he's been noticeably more active on the basepaths with four steals in his last nine games compared to two thefts in his first 27 appearances.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

The rookie took Aaron Nola deep in the fifth inning for his fourth homer in 31 games since his promotion, but Atlanta was already in a 12-1 hole at that point. Harris has hit safely in five straight games and 10 of the last 12, slashing a stunning .341/.356/.545 over that stretch with two home runs and two steals, and a 2.5 percent walk rate is just about the only blemish on his performance so far in the majors.

Harris went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.

Harris singled in the last run of the game in the seventh inning and added a steal, his second in the last three contests. The rookie outfielder is 6-for-16 (.375) across his last four games, putting his slash line at .327/.351/.509 in 114 plate appearances overall. He's added four steals, three home runs, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored through his first 30 major-league games.

Harris went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.

Harris has six multi-hit efforts in his last 12 games, going 17-for-45 (.378) in that span. He's picked up five extra-base hits in that span, and he continues to display solid contact skills at the plate. The rookie outfielder is slashing .330/.355/.524 with three home runs, three steals, 14 RBI and 18 runs scored through 107 plate appearances. He's solidified a starting role in center field, but he's remained in the No. 9 spot in the order despite the hot bat over his first month in the big leagues.

Harris went 3-for-3 with a triple in Monday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

The rookie continues to shine at the bottom of the order for Atlanta, as he's now slashing an impressive .346/.369/.580 with three home runs, two stolen bases, 14 runs and 13 RBI through his first 22 games in his big leagues. Though his performance would typically warrant a promotion upward in the lineup, Harris seems likely to stick as the No. 9 hitter with Dansby Swanson settling in nicely as Atlanta's No. 2 hitter since moving into that spot in the order in late May.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Harris launched his third home run of the season in Sunday's game against the Cubs. Harris is having an excellent start to his rookie campaign with a hit in 14 of 17 June games, including seven multi-hit games. The outfielder is slashing .321/.346/.538 since his call-up on May 28.

Harris went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in a 10-4 win Tuesday in Washington.

Harris doubled in a run in the third and added a solo shot in the sixth. The 21-year-old has homered in consecutive games and hit safely in seven straight. He is thriving in his first 17 games in the majors, slashing .323/.344/.548 with nine extra-base hits and two stolen bases.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-5 win over the Nationals.

It took 16 games, but Harris finally swatted his first homer, a solo shot off Nationals reliever Kyle Finnegan in the eighth inning. In his last six contests, Harris is 8-for-21 (.381) with four extra-base hits. He's maintained a .293/.317/.466 slash line with seven RBI, 10 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 60 plate appearances, earning an everyday role in center field.

Harris went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

Harris has stolen a base in each of the last two contests, which suggests he's getting a bit more comfortable at the big-league level. He's now 6-for-14 (.429) across his last four games, adding three RBI and five runs scored. The 21-year-old outfielder has six RBI, nine runs scored, five doubles and a triple through 53 plate appearances. Considering he had only 14 home runs in 197 minor-league games, he should be expected to produce more with speed than with power, though the latter trait shouldn't be completely discounted as his game grows.

Harris went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Pirates.

While the rookie has exclusively hit ninth in the batting order since his promotion, Harris has still been productive for Atlanta. He's slashing .298/.327/.447 through his first 13 MLB games with five RBI and eight runs scored, and while he's still looking for his first big-league homer, the 21-year-old now has his first steal in the majors after swiping 11 in 43 Double-A games this year.

Harris went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Thursday's 13-6 victory over Colorado.

All of Atlanta's starters on offense collected at least one hit in the contest, and Harris got in on the action with the first multi-hit performance of his young career. The 21-year-old picked up an RBI for the third straight game when he knocked in a run with an infield single in the second inning. Harris was batting .188 heading into the contest, but he raised that mark to .286 with the standout effort.

Harris will start in center field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Harris will man center field for the fourth game in a row, even though Atlanta's top prospect has gone 1-for-9 with one run in his first three contests in the big leagues. He'll need to start producing sooner rather than later or risk a demotion to Triple-A Gwinnett or Double-A Mississippi, but Atlanta looks prepared to give the 21-year-old a trial run as an everyday outfielder. William Contreras -- who is sitting out a second straight game Tuesday -- and Adam Duvall are the main candidates to lose out on playing time while Harris is up with the big club.

Harris is starting in center field and batting ninth during Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Harris' contract was selected by Atlanta on Saturday, and the 21-year-old will make his major-league debut in center field while Ronald Acuna serves as the designated hitter in his return to the lineup. Harris hasn't played at the Triple-A level but slashed .305/.372/.506 with five homers, 33 runs, 33 RBI and 11 stolen bases over 43 games at Double-A Mississippi to begin the year. Since many of Atlanta's outfielders have struggled recently, the team's top prospect should have plenty of chances to earn playing time in the big leagues.

Harris' contract was selected by Atlanta on Saturday.

Harris got off to a blistering start to the season at Double-A Mississippi, as he reached base safely in his first 31 games of the year and slashed .307/.362/.512 with four home runs, two triples, 10 doubles, 22 RBI, 21 runs and 10 stolen bases during that time. The 21-year-old hasn't played at the Triple-A level, but he'll be rewarded with a significant promotion to the big leagues following his results in Mississippi. Harris is Atlanta's top fantasy prospect and will attempt to carve out playing time in the majors after Travis Demeritte was sent down Saturday.

Harris went 2-for-6 with two solo home runs for Double-A Mississippi on Sunday.

Atlanta's No. 1 fantasy prospect has reached base safely in all 21 games so far this season, with Sunday's fireworks marking his most impressive performance yet. All four of Harris' homers in 2022 have come in the last seven contests, and on the season he's slashing a blazing .333/.396/.586 with nine steals in 11 attempts, plus 16 runs and 19 RBI. The organization doesn't need to rush the 21-year-old to the majors, especially with Ronald Acuna now back in action, but it may not be long before Harris forces a promotion to Triple-A.

Harris went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a stolen base for Double-A Mississippi on Sunday against Biloxi.

Atlanta's top fantasy prospect has hit safely in all nine games to begin the season, slashing .378/.410/.541 with two doubles and two triples. Harris is still looking for his first homer and there are some other minor blemishes on his line, including a 2:8 BB:K and two caught stealing in five attempts, but overall the 21-year-old is looking like a future five-category asset. Atlanta kept him at High-A all last season despite strong numbers and doesn't have a need to rush him up the ladder, but Harris seems intent on forcing his way to Triple-A sometime this summer.

Harris was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday.

Harris is one of Atlanta's top prospects and performed well during spring games, going 2-for-7 with a double, a run, an RBI, two stolen bases and three walks across five appearances. He was never a serious contender for a major-league roster spot to begin the year, but he'll presumably advance to Double-A Mississippi in 2022 after spending the 2021 campaign at High-A Rome.

Harris went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.

Atlanta's top prospect got the start in center field and put together another intriguing performance. Harris has gone 3-for-8 with a double, a 2:0 BB:K and three stolen bases through four appearances this spring, and the fact he's still with the big-leaguers and getting playing time while the likes of Drew Waters have already been sent back to minor-league camp says volumes about how close the organization views him to being ready for the majors. Harris slashed .294/.362/.436 with seven homers and 26 steals in 30 attempts over 101 games for High-A Rome last year, but a hot start at Double-A to begin 2022 could set him up for a mid-summer promotion to Triple-A and potentially even a September debut with Atlanta.

Harris wrapped up the 2021 minor-league campaign with a .294/.362/.436 line for High-A Rome. He hit seven home runs and went 26-for-30 on stolen bases, collecting 64 RBI and 55 runs in the process.

Obviously, the ability Harris showed on the bases was impressive, and his plate discipline only got stronger as the season went along -- after posting a 7:32 BB:K through May and June, he put up a 28:47 mark the rest of the way, including more walks than strikeouts in September. That can be seen as a reflection of an adjusted approach -- one that saw him seemingly stop trying to hit home runs entirely, as five of his seven long balls came in those first two months. From a fantasy perspective, it's obviously cause for some concern that Harris hasn't come close to living up to his power projections, but he's still just 20 years old and certainly doesn't have the scouting profile of a slap hitter. It'll be interesting to see how hard Atlanta pushes him next year, as he doesn't have much to prove in High-A.

Harris has gone 0-for-18 with a pair of walks and five strikeouts over his last five games for High-A Rome but is still batting .296/.324/.442 with five homers and 14 steals on the season.

He does still have a .341 BABIP, so it's not surprising that he's seen a little bit of a statistical correction. The third-youngest player in the High-A East, the 20-year-old Harris has more than held his own this year despite this recent skid. It'd be nice to see him develop a bit more in-game power, but at his tender age, he's got plenty of time to do so. He's already known to make plenty of hard contact, so it's more a matter of launch angle at this point. Cristian Pache and Drew Waters get plenty of attention as Atlanta's two big-name outfield prospects, but Harris could easily end up with a more well-rounded offensive game than either of them.

Harris went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base for High-A Rome on Sunday.

The 20-year-old is off to a strong start to the season, slashing .333/.375/.511 with two homers and three steals in three attempts while collecting at least one hit in nine of his 11 games. Harris does have a less encouraging 3:13 BB:K, but if he keeps raking he could push his way up to Double-A over the summer.

Harris was invited to major-league camp Monday.

The invitation highlights Harris' potential, though he's a long way from reaching it. Still just 19 years old, the outfielder hasn't played a game above Low-A and didn't look good in a small sample of 22 games at that level for Rome in 2019, hitting .183/.269/.232. He has several seasons of development left before pushing for a roster spot.
