Atlanta Braves News: Michael Harris will miss significant time, more

While the offense seems to be finding its footing after an epic team slump, they lost another major piece to injury for an extended period of time as Michael Harris is dealing with a grade hamstring strain. 2. The Braves have had brutal luck with injuries this season, with arguably the best hitter and pitcher in the game for the season, and have missed significant time from Ozzie Albies, Sean Murphy and now Michael Harris. However, the team appears to be on the verge of turning a corner on the offensive end, as they scored nine runs against the Rays on Saturday. They hit four home runs and easily could have had another, as Ramon Laureano was robbed in his Braves debut. Michael should be back this season, so hopefully the team can follow through with an improved offense and more stellar pitching than they’ve gotten so far. This team still has the talent to be a force in October if the non-Acuna and Strider pieces can be healthy for the playoffs.
