Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II was back in action on Tuesday after an injury scare at the beginning of the week. He took a pitch off the wrist during Sunday’s game, and fortunately, received a clean MRI.
After a brief absence from the lineup card, Harris hit sixth against the Minnesota Twins and launched a two-run shot in the second inning.
