Michael Harris II's lower back discomfort is a concern, but the Braves believe he won't need to be placed on the 10-day injured list.

• Michael Harris II is experiencing lower back discomfort for the second time this month.
• Braves manager Walt Weiss stated that placing Harris on the 10-day injured list is unlikely but not ruled out.
• Harris has not played since exiting a game with back tightness on June 5 and was not in the lineup for a recent series opener.
