Michael Harris News: Sitting again Sunday

Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Harris will hit the bench for a second straight day after a run of 75 straight starts. The consecutive days off have both come against left-handed pitching, suggesting that Atlanta may at least temporarily be viewing Harris as a strong-side platoon player while he's struggled mightily at the plate in June with a .148/.165/.261 slash line and 27.2 percent strikeout rate in 92 plate appearances. Eli White will receive another look in center field in Sunday's series finale.
