With veteran outfielder Ender Inciarte making his way back to the big leagues, the Atlanta Braves have some tough decisions to make.
So it seems as though Ender Inciarte‘s ailing back has finally healed enough to warrant a return to the Major League club on Thursday after the Atlanta Braves return from Milwaukee. As David O’Brien of The Athletic reminds us, that means that the team has some decisions to make.
So what now?
The current version of the Braves outfield seems to have prospered in Ender’s absence, thanks to Roland Acuna finding his way out in center, while Austin Riley has actually not looked too bad in left field, accounting for 8 Defensive Runs Saved while coming out to a red hot start to his MLB career at the dish.
The bullpen has settled down quite a bit, the bench has been one of Atlanta’s greatest assets, and there doesn’t seem to be much of anything out there in terms of trade rumors involving the Braves between now and then…..
I repeat, what now?
Let’s look at some possible moves the Atlanta Braves could make to make room for Ender.
