Harris contributed in center with a few hits but did not lift the Braves’s offense consistently in this game, leaving the lineup short of a rally spark.

Harris Club hits a line-drive homer that was initially ruled, then overturned, highlighting the Braves’ power and Cubs’ misreads. He’s a stud two-way threat who can alter a game in a hurry, underscoring Atlanta’s lineup depth as the Cubs chase consistent production.

Michael Harris II blossomed as a 2022 rookie sensation but regressed in 2025 with a drop in OPS to .688, poor plate discipline, and a heavy swing rate. Yet, after July 18, he produced a .962 OPS with 11 HR and 33 RBIs, signaling a potential breakout if he can regain his pre-2024 form. He is under a friendly long-term deal, which argues against trading him despite the rough stretch, as the Braves hope for a sustainable rebound.

Harris II was the driving force for Atlanta, driving in four runs and providing the quintessential power-speed blend that fantasy managers crave. His production remains a cornerstone for Braves’ offense and a high-upside asset in outfield slots as the season unfolds.

Harris II anchored 2023’s historic Braves lineup and remains a key factor in OBP and speed. His 2024-25 dips underscore a need for improved plate discipline and health; if he rebounds, he fuels Braves’ overall run production and fantasy upside.
