For the Diamondbacks, using infielders' movement to identify pitches is a focusMiddle infielders' movement can occasionally tip Diamondbacks’ batters off to whether a pitch is going to be a fastball or off-speed.
Michael Harris II - Draws fourth consecutive startHarris will start in center field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
ImpactHarris will man center field for the fourth game in a row, even though Atlanta's top prospect has gone 1-for-9 with one run in his first three contests in the big leagues. He'll need to start producing sooner rather than later or risk a demotion to Triple-A Gwinnett or Double-A Mississippi, but Atlanta looks prepared to give the 21-year-old a trial run as an everyday outfielder. William Contreras -- who is sitting out a second straight game Tuesday -- and Adam Duvall are the main candidates to lose out on playing time while Harris is up with the big club.

William Contreras - On bench again TuesdayContreras remains on the bench Tuesday against Arizona.
ImpactThe arrival of Michael Harris may have forced Contreras into a bench role. Harris will start his fourth straight game in center field Tuesday, pushing Adam Duvall to left field. Duvall, Marcell Ozuna and Ronald Acuna should fill the outfield corners and the designated hitter spot most days, though Contreras should still feature occasionally in any of those three spots as well as in a backup catcher role.
