Harris sat the past two games as his struggles worsended.
Weather permitting*, the Braves will kick off a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. Atlanta is coming off a frustrating series loss to the Phillies and has lost 4 out of 5 after picking up some momentum in previous weeks. One step forward, one and a half steps back.
*The forecast looks pretty terrible tonight. We might be headed for a rainout and doubleheader later this week.
On Tuesday, Michael Harris is set to return to the lineup after sitting out the two weekend games against Philadelphia. Harris’ fourth year in the majors has been a catastrophe, ranking near the very bottom of the league in almost every stat of note. We’ll see if the couple of days out of the lineup do any good. The rest of the lineup remains largely the same, with lefties Alex Verdugo and Drake Baldwin in there against lefty Tyler Anderson, who has pretty drastic reverse platoon splits.

The Angels will send out the following on Tuesday if the rain stays away, with old friend Jorge Soler batting 6th and that Mike Trout guy hitting 3rd.
Angels today. Tyler Anderson v Braves.
Getting close to having their optimal lineup. And arguably this is it. (Moncada still hurt.) pic.twitter.com/nSMPR0Wa6N
