Though reducing one might make the other feel better. Would definitely love to see them pick at least one game a week for him to DH now that they have capable OF options.4@cmmcguire @mlbbowman He should, but I think the running on the bases is a bigger problem than any of his running in the OF.

It could be an uphill battle, however, as Adam Duvall, Orlando Arcia, and star Ozzie Albies are out for the foreseeable future.For now, the Braves will rely on the bats of the aforementioned Harris, Dansby Swanson, and Austin Riley to propel them to the playoffs. Matt Olson and Travis d'Arnaud will also be called upon to contribute not only on offense, but also on the defensive side of the ball.It will be interesting to see how the Braves handle the injury situation in their batting order and also the mounting injuries in their pitching rotation.
