Hector Olivera will play some left field in Winter League

Hector Olivera will be a key piece of the Atlanta Braves' lineup next season, but the team still isn't sure what position he will be playing.

Hector Olivera played third base in his short stint with the Atlanta Braves this season, but the team is undecided on where he might fit long term and will have him spend some time in left field while playing winter ball in Puerto Rico. According to MLB.com's Mark Bowman, the Braves are looking to enhance Olivera's defensive options. It doesn't mean that Olivera won't be at third base when the season opens.
