Michael Harris II’s will be absent from the Atlanta Braves starting lineup on Saturday. Eli White gets the start in centerfield and Stuart Fairchild gets a start in left field.
After six games without a hit and no walks going back to May 18, manager Brian Snitker held it was best to give Harris a chance to take it easy for a night or two.
“I think every now and then, there comes a time where you toy with the only way you’re gonna get it going is to get in there and grind through it, and at other times, I think you just let them sit back and watch and maybe see that it’s not as hard as they’re making it be,” Snitker said.
