Mucking through the Braves’ LF/DH morass

The 2022 Atlanta Braves are a great team with a great roster. In addition to a top-three overall pitching staff, their position players generally rank in the top 10 among all MLB teams relative to their peers. The exceptions are the positions where injuries took hold (2B, RF), and of course, the small-scale disaster that has been the Braves’ LF/DH situation all year.

The problem itself is pretty easy to identify. The Braves have used eight different left fielders this season; Adam Duvall’s 0.9 fWAR in 100 PAs there is still their best mark, and Duvall’s been injured for the last two-plus months.
