The Phillies are starting a tough left-hander in Jesus Luzardo on Saturday night, so it makes sense why the Braves would want to get Harris a breather. The 24-year-old outfielder has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball this season, slashing a dreadful .212/.238/.320 with six homers, 43 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a 68/10 K/BB ratio over his first 326 plate appearances. Eli White will man center field in his absence on Saturday.

The Braves had to cover seven innings with their bullpen on Friday night after Bryce Elder’s two-inning disaster start, so Herget will join the bullpen on Saturday to provide a fresh arm that’s capable of working multiple innings. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

The Braves continue to shuttle Petersen back and forth from Triple-A anytime that they need a fresh arm for their bullpen. The 31-year-old hurler threw 61 pitches over 2 2/3 innings against the Phillies on Friday night, giving up one run on four hits and a pair of walks while striking out two. Unfortunately, that means he won’t be available for a couple of days so the Braves are sending him back out to get another arm active for Saturday’s contest. Petersen should get another opportunity with the big league club in relatively short order.

It was already 11-0 Phillies by the time Acuna was due for his second at-bat in the bottom of the third inning on Friday. The Braves decided to throw in the towel at that point and give the 27-year-old superstar outfielder the rest of the night off. Stuart Fairchild came off the bench and hit two doubles, which were the Braves’ only extra-base hits on the night. Acuna should be back in the lineup for Atlanta’s next game on Saturday.

Buxton has been eliminated from the fan vote, but it’d be nuts if he’s not an All-Star for the second time next month. He’s up to 19 homers and 51 RBI, which are both tied for the second-highest totals of his career; he had 28 homers in 92 games in 2022 and 56 RBI in 102 games last season. He also stole his 15th base today, which stands alone as his second-highest total behind the 29 he had in his one relatively full season in 2017. He’s currently third in the AL and seventh in the majors with a .927 OPS.

A second opinion on Friday confirmed that surgery would be required to repair the issue. The Brewers are optimistic that he’ll still be able to return at some point before the 2025 season comes to a close, but a clear timeline won’t be known until after he undergoes the procedure.

With the Tigers’ lineup finally healthy for the most part, you’re going to start seeing more days off for regulars in the lineup as manager A.J. Hinch attempts to work everybody in. Meadows has struggled since his return from the injured list, slashing a disappointing .181/.263/.319 with a pair of homers, seven RBI and two stolen bases in 80 plate appearances. Matt Vierling will start in Meadows’ place in center field on Saturday.
