It’s never too early to start dreaming about Opening Day, and with the season the Atlanta Braves have had, fans are eager to turn the calendar to next season. Luckily, Atlanta’s frustrations were not the result of a rebuilding squad or a lack of skill. Rather, injuries and slumps scrapped much of 2025. Expect the Braves to trot out much the same lineup as this season when baseball returns next March, but we can always hope for a few upgrades.
Our Way-To-Early 2026 Braves Lineup:
- Ronald Acuña Jr., RF
- Jurickson Profar, DH
- Matt Olson, 1B
- Austin Riley, 3B
- Drake Baldwin, C
- Bo Bichette, SS
- Ozzie Albies, 2B
- Michael Harris II, CF
- Tommy Pham, LF
The easiest decision for the Braves to make is what it always has been: put Acuña at the top of the lineup.
