Braves News: Michael Harris to miss significant time, offense turning a corner, more

Just as the offense seems to be finding it’s footing after an epic team slump, they lost another major piece to injury for an extended period, as Michael Harris has a grade 2 hamstring strain. The Braves have had brutal injury luck this season, with arguable the best batter and pitcher in the game out for the season, and missing significant time from Ozzie Albies, Sean Murphy, and now Michael Harris. Nonetheless, the team looks like it may be turning a corner on the offensive end, as they put up nine runs on the Rays Saturday. They hit four home runs and could easily have had another, as Ramon Laureano was robbed in his Braves debut. Michael should be back sometime this season, so hopefully the team can chug along with improved offense and more of the same stellar pitching they have gotten so far. This team still has the talent to be a force in October if the non-Acuna and Strider pieces can be healthy for the playoffs.
Braves News
Michael Harris II was transferred to the IL Saturday morning, with Ramon Laureano getting the call-up in his place. It was revealed after the game that he has a grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss roughly 4-6 weeks, judging by the average for that particular injury.
The Braves strung together their third straight complete team victory, with Charlie Morton putting together a strong start and the offense showing out with some power.
MLB News
Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto exited his start early with a tricep injury. That’s a hit to the Dodgers’ pitching staff that already has some injury questions.
Kris Bryant will continue to miss time with an internal oblique strain, continuing what has been a catastrophic free agent signing for the Rockies, and one that was already puzzling at the time of the deal.
Pirates’ Henry Davis will hit the 7-day concussion IL, replaced by Jason Delay for the time being.
The Phillies activated Brandon Marsh off the IL, after a roughly two week absence for the outfielder.

50 Cent Headlining Earn Your Leisure's 4th Annual Invest Fest in Atlanta
![50 Cent Headlining Earn Your Leisure's 4th Annual Invest Fest in Atlanta](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/be/16by9/2024/06/24/bed586661e1948ca9063c539aeff51cd_xl.jpg)
50 Cent will be front and center for the Earn Your Leisure’s Invest Fest in Atlanta — TMZ Hip Hop can reveal the booming businessman is this year’s headliner!!!
The event is right up 50’s alley … he and attorney Ben Crump recently went to Washington, D.C. in the name of Black entrepreneurship, pushing for minority representation in the alcohol biz … and we’re told he’ll speak to that topic and much more during the annual event.
Even more fittingly, 50 will succeed Diddy, who hosted last year’s Invest Fest, and we all know how “competitive” he’s been with Puff for years, and especially lately … in the wake of the latter’s slew of legal issues.
Earn Your Leisure co-founder Troy Millings tells us 50 represents “the powerful blend of culture and business,” — so, recruiting him for the coveted gig was an easy call.
Rashad Bilal believes 50 will leave attendees with invaluable lessons — “We believe [50’s] insights and experiences will inspire and empower our audience to pursue their own paths to financial freedom.”

TMZ.com
The last time we spoke with Troy and Rashad, they dropped gems on artists struggling on the touring circuit — and, fortunately, things have since picked up for everyone!
Invest Fest ’24 is happening from August 23-25 at the Georgia World Congress Center, co-sponsored by Steve Harvey, Matthew Garland and Michael MacDonald.
Expect plenty of other celeb and hip hop participation beyond 50 Cent … as T.I., Monica, Stephen A. Smith, Daymond John, Dee-1 and Pinky Cole are all on the event agenda.
Be there or keep your bank account square!!!
