Back in Tuesday's lineup
Harris (back) is back in the lineup for Atlanta on Tuesday.
Analysis
After not starting the previous two games, Harris will bat second and play center field Tuesday. The 25-year-old had been battling back tightness, which was deemed as not serious and allowed Harris to pinch-hit during Sunday's series finale against Pittsburgh and contribute the game-winning three-run double for Atlanta.

Remains out of lineup Sunday
Harris (back) is not in Atlanta's lineup for Sunday's series finale versus Pittsburgh.
Analysis
It'll be the second straight day on the shelf for Harris after he was removed from Friday's contest due to back tightness. Manager Walt Weiss has stated that the injury isn't serious, and Harris may be available to pinch hit, so his absence could be a matter of the team playing it safe with an off day scheduled Monday. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field for the second straight game.

Pulled early with back tightness
Harris was removed from Friday's game against Pittsburgh due to back tightness, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Analysis
Manager Walt Weiss said after the game that the team isn't too concerned about Harris' back, and there's a strong chance that he'll be back in the starting nine Saturday. If the 25-year-old were to sit, Eli White and Mauricio Dubon would likely share center field duties.
