If you thought Preston Tucker was the only Atlanta Brave to start his season with the Braves, then go to another team only to return to the Braves later in the year, your thoughts are mistaken. Lane Adams, another outfield by trade, had the same circuitous journey with regard to Atlanta’s roster. Unlike Tucker, though, Adams was able to parlay small sample success and the collapse of Adam Duvall into a playoff roster spot.
Adams served very capably for the Braves in a reserve role last year, when he hit for a 108 wRC+ in 122 PAs to amass 0.
