    • Goes deep in win
      Vierling went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-5 win over the Astros.

      Advice: Vierling has homered twice over his last four contests, though both were solo shots that represent his only RBI since May 29. The outfielder is batting a modest .196 (10-for-51) over 12 contests in June, though he's still often hitting in the top third of the Tigers' lineup. Vierling is at a .266/.305/.468 slash line with nine homers, 30 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, four triples and no stolen bases through 63 games this year. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:29 pm
       
    • Tending to Grade 2 hamstring strain
      Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Saturday that Harris has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and is without a timetable for a return, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Harris was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after straining the hamstring in Friday's game against the Rays. Given that Harris' strain is of moderate severity, he'll likely be sidelined for well beyond the minimum 10 days. Atlanta selected the contract of outfielder Ramon Laureano from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding transaction, and he could end up filling Harris' spot in the big club's everyday outfield.

    • Michael Harris II diagnosed with Grade 2 strain
      Michael Harris II has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain.

      Advice: If it wasn’t bad enough that the 23-year-old outfielder landed on the injured list with his hamstring strain, his MRI exam revealed it to be a more serious strain, which means that he’ll be sidelined for even longer. The Braves have yet to provide a timeline for his recovery, but it’s going to be longer than just a couple of weeks. Expect Ramon Laureano to see increased action in the Braves’ outfield in the meantime. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:22 pm
       
    • Placed on 10-day IL
      Harris (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

      Advice: As expected, Harris will now be sidelined for at least 10 days while nursing a strained left hamstring. Ramon Laureano was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett to replace Harris on the major-league roster, while Spencer Strider (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list to complete the corresponding moves.

    • Michael Harris II hits IL with hamstring strain
      Braves placed OF Michael Harris II on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

      Advice: No word yet on the severity of the injury, but fantasy managers should anticipate Harris missing at least a couple weeks, even in a best-case scenario. The 23-year-old upper-echelon fantasy contributor, who hits the shelf with a .653 OPS with five homers and eight steals across 278 plate appearances through 67 contests, suffered the injury during the opening frame of Friday’s contest against the Rays while running the bases. There should be some clarity on his return timeline in the coming days. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:32 am
       
    • Tallies ninth homer
      Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI on Friday against the Rockies.

      Advice: Reynolds popped his ninth home run of the season in the first inning and also extended his hitting streak to 12 games. Though it was only his second long ball in that span, Reynolds has hit .340 with a .969 OPS to go along with eight RBI and six runs scored. Overall, he has turned in another solid season through 310 plate appearances, maintaining a .335 wOBA and 116 wRC+. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:05 am
       
    • Bound for injured list
      Atlanta will place Harris (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Harris had to make an early exit from Friday's game versus Tampa Bay due to tightness in his left hamstring, and the team has already deemed his injury severe enough to warrant a trip to the IL. The 23-year-old outfielder will receive an MRI on his hamstring Saturday, at which point the team will have a better idea of how long he will be out. In the meantime, Harris' absence opens a spot in Atlanta's outfield for J.P. Martinez to potentially see consistent playing time. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:25 pm
       
    • Michael Harris II (hamstring) heading to 10-day IL
      Braves’ manager Brian Snitker told reporters after Friday’s game that Michael Harris II will be placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday.

      Advice: The 23-year-old outfielder was pulled from Friday’s game in the first inning due to tightness in his left hamstring. He’ll undergo an MRI exam on Saturday to determine the severity of the injury, but he’s going to miss at least a couple of weeks. With Ronald Acuna Jr. already lost for the year and Harris now out for an indefinite amount of time, don’t be surprised if the Braves aggressively pursue the trade market for help at the position.

    • Michael Harris leaves game with hamstring tightness
      The Braves announced that Michael Harris II was pulled from Friday’s showdown against the Rays in the first inning due to left hamstring tightness.

      Advice: That’s certainly what it looked like on the field, but it’s nice to receive confirmation from the team so quickly. He’ll head for further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury. If he’s forced to miss any extended time, we could see the Braves turn to the trade market to try to bring in some outside help — as Alex Anthopoulous has been known to do. Rotoworld Friday, 4:54 pm
