Harris' numbers on the season remain rough, but he's teased a breakout over the last week and is finding ways to contribute -- Sunday's steal was his fifth of the year and first since May 10.

Back in action Harris (knee) will bat eighth and play center field Saturday against the Orioles.
Impact Harris had missed the last two days with a jammed right knee, costing him a bit more time after back troubles had already robbed him of three weeks in April. He's hit an unremarkable .237/.310/.368 when available, though that comes in a tiny sample of 12 games.

Remains out of lineup Harris (knee) is not in the starting lineup Friday against Baltimore.
Impact Harris will sit for the second straight game Friday as he nurses a sore right knee, which he jammed Wednesday versus Miami. The outfielder was available off the bench Thursday, so he should be expected to be back in the lineup sooner rather than later. Sam Hilliard will draw the start in center field and bat eighth in Atlanta's series opener with the Orioles.

Available off bench Thursday Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Harris (knee) will be available off the bench Thursday in Miami, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Harris is out of the starting lineup after jamming his right knee Wednesday, but it's not a serious injury. Snitker noted that the young center fielder was due for some rest anyway as he works into form following a lower back strain that cost him much of April. He should be a full-go for Atlanta's three-game weekend series against the Orioles.
