Offensive is improving, Michael Harris will miss a lot of time, and more
The Braves have had terrible luck with injuries this season; after losing Ozzie Albies, Sean Murphy, and now Michael Harris for an extended period of time, they lost another key player to an extended absence due to a grade 2 hamstring strain. Still, the team appears to be turning the corner offensively as they defeated the Rays on Saturday, scoring nine runs, including four home runs and one that could have been scored more because Ramon Laureano was robbed in his Braves debut. Michael should return at some point.
On Saturday morning, Michael Harris II was moved to the Illinois, and Ramon Laureano was called up to take his place. After the game, it was discovered that he had a grade 2 hamstring strain. Based on the typical recovery time for that specific ailment, he should miss four to six weeks.
With Charlie Morton leading the way and the offense putting on a show, the Braves pulled off their third straight complete team victory.
