Michael Harris - Pops second homerHarris went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
ImpactThe 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.

Matt Olson - Swats third homerOlson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
ImpactThe first baseman took Ryne Nelson deep to lead off the second inning and set Atlanta on its way to a 5-2 victory and a series sweep. Olson has picked up where he left off after slugging a career-high 54 homers in 2023, and through eight games this season he's batting .303 (10-for-33) with five doubles, three home runs and eight RBI.

Joe Jiménez - Grabs second holdJimenez struck out two over 1.2 perfect innings Sunday to record his second hold of the season in a win over the Diamondbacks.
ImpactThe right-hander entered the game in the sixth inning and needed only 21 pitches (16 strikes) to carve up the heart of Arizona's order. With Raisel Iglesias unavailable after pitching two straight days, it was Pierce Johnson and not Jimenez who got the save Sunday, and the latter hasn't pitched any later than the seventh inning through his first four appearances this season. Jimenez has been sharp in his role, posting a 2.08 ERA and 4:1 K:BB through 4.1 frames, but he appears to be no higher than fourth or fifth in the packing order in the Atlanta bullpen.
