Idle for series finale Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact With Sunday's series finale beginning at 11:35 a.m. ET and with a southpaw (Trevor Rogers) on the bump for the Orioles, the left-handed-hitting Harris will get a break. Harris had started in 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.

Swipes 12th bag Harris went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Day-to-day following early exit Harris (elbow) went 0-for-2 with a run scored before exiting Tuesday's eventual 7-4 win over the Mets.

Impact 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 this case, with the former having replaced Harris in Tuesday's tilt.

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

Impact 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.

Swats fifth homer Harris went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Brewers.

Impact The center fielder opened the scoring for Atlanta by depositing a second-inning Chad Patrick cutter in the second deck in right field. Harris is showing faint signs of life at the plate, hitting safely in six of the last seven games while batting .286 (8-for-28) with two of his five homers on the season, but he still carries a career-worst .607 OPS on the season.
