What Braves Manager Brian Snitker Hopes to See After Sitting Harris

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.
