Tereza Valentova Outlasts Elina Svitolina in an Uplifting Thriller at Cincinnati
Elina Svitolina vs Tereza Valentova · Round 2 · Cincinnati Tennis.com - A nail-biting encounter...

We're only two innings into a soggy night at Truist Park and while things are currently going fine for the Braves on the scoreboard, there may be some issues brewing as far as injuries go yet again.
Michael Harris II was removed from the game ahead of the top of the second inning. My only guess is that he tweaked something while crossing home plate to score the second run of the inning for Atlanta.
We haven't heard anything else and it would be pretty useless to speculate past that.
We'll provide more updates as they come so stay tuned.
UPDATE 8:00 p.m. ET: We now have an answer as to what's ailing Money Mike and apparently his back is acting up on him again. The Braves are calling it 'lower back tightness.'
If that sounds familiar, that's because this is the same thing that caused Harris some problems not too long ago earlier this month. It also probably didn't help matters that they were playing in wet conditions which up the ante for potential injuries.
That could be precautionary in order to make sure that Harris doesn't have to deal with that much further during this one but we'll see what happens later on as far as that's concerned.
Once again, here's hoping that we won't have to see another core member of the Braves take a trip to the IL.
