Harris went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-3 loss to Texas.
EDGE Analysis
While Harris has been a huge disappointment from a fantasy perspective -- he has a .574 OPS in 2025 -- he's finally starting to come around a bit at the plate recently. The speedy outfielder is hitting .324 over his last 37 at-bats, adding two doubles, two homers and four RBI during this 10-game stretch. Harris' defense should help him maintain nearly an everyday role in center field, but he still likely has plenty of work to do for any chance of moving up Atlanta's batting order.

Harris went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Both hits were singles, but it still continues an encouraging stretch for Harris that has seen him hit safely in seven of the last eight games while batting .300 (9-for-30) with two doubles and a homer. The 24-year-old has had a miserable start to the season at the plate, with his .559 OPS representing a huge drop from the .722 OPS he posted in 2024 as well as being the worst mark in the majors this year, but per David O'Brien of The Athletic, Harris has been working on mechanical changes with his swing that might finally be paying dividends.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Harris made an impact at the plate Saturday, launching his first home run since June 13 and drawing his first walk since May 18. The 2022 National League Rookie of the Year has endured a brutal 2025 campaign, slashing .211/.236/.324 with 23 extra-base hits, 46 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 95 games. While his defense remains elite, Harris entered the game with a 48 wRC+ -- the second lowest in the league -- making him a liability for Atlanta this season.

Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
With Sunday's series finale beginning at 11:35 a.m. EDT and with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the bump for the Orioles, Harris will get a breather. The center fielder started each of Atlanta's first five games of July -- three against righties, two against lefties -- and went 4-for-20 with a triple, a stolen base and a run.

Harris went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The center fielder produced his first multi-hit performance since June 13 in what has been a very trying campaign. Over 84 games, Harris is slashing just .217/.242/.328 with six homers and 19 runs, but with 12 steals and 43 RBI, he's actually on pace for career highs in both categories.

Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris (elbow) will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris (elbow) went 0-for-2 with a run scored before exiting Tuesday's eventual 7-4 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
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.
