The 2026 Atlanta Braves will have four solid to elite outfielders needing to fill just three outfield spots. Thanks to the DH spot being open, Jurickson Profar, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Mike Yastrzemski should have no issues covering the corners and sharing time at DH, with Michael Harris II covering center field.
However, the club's X-factor might be their fifth outfielder, Eli White, who should actually benefit from the Braves filling out their outfield.
Eli White looks to be Braves X-factor in 2026
Last season, thanks to injuries, a PED suspension, and some frankly horrendous outfield replacement options, White managed to stick around on the big league roster the entire season.
