Harris went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a run batted in during Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Monday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris went 2-for-4 with a home run and scored two runs during Friday's win over Texas.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris will start in center field and bat second for Atlanta in Tuesday's game in Houston.
EDGE Analysis
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.

EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris 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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Harris went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
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.
