Braves Outfield Shake-Up | Atlanta Braves News

Braves’ outfield hit a snag as Lane Thomas, their right-handed power bat, went on the injured list with a strained intercostal muscle—likely missing the playoffs. With just two weeks left in the season, they’ve called up speedy lefty DaShawn Keirsey Jr. to fill the void, mostly for defense and pinch-running. Thomas, who’s struggled since joining (.171), was brought in to platoon in left but may now be replaced by Brewer Hicklen or Mauricio Dubón, forcing a lineup shuffle as Atlanta races to the finish.
