NEW YORK (AP) — Center fielder Michael Harris II was activated from the injured list by the Atlanta Braves on Friday ahead of a four-game series against the New York Mets.
The reigning National League Rookie of the Year was injured as he slid awkwardly while stealing second base against San Diego on April 6. Harris missed 19 games and was activated after two rehabilitation appearances for Triple-A Gwinnett.
He was slotted to bat ninth.
“He’s a big part of what we’re trying to do and a big player for us and he had two really good solid rehab starts,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said.
