Braves speedster could be 2026 X-factor despite a crowded roster
MLB: AUG 15 Braves at Guardians | Icon Sportswire/GettyImagesThe 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.
