Here’s what people were saying about the news:
@CrosbyBaseball: “Michael Harris II is out of the game – his last play was scoring from second base on a Mauricio Dubón single. Nothing obvious from the high home angle, so maybe this is a precautionary thing? Eli White has checked in to left, with Mauricio Dubón moving to center field”
@ChoppinBravos: “Well I hope yall enjoyed that one inning of almost the entire Braves offense. Michael Harris is now out again. We got one inning of Drake and Harris and both scored.”

@ATLHeadband: “Bro please… what happened with Michael Harris????”
@Laura2Mustang: “Michael Harris II has left the game and we are waiting to find out why. Wondering if he hurt himself running bases in the slick muddy rain. They did a replay but we couldn’t see anything.”
@MHIIisKing: “Michael Harris hurt. You’ve got to be kidding me”
@AustinJamesCoo1: “Why are they even playing the game right now with the field the way it is”
