Jurickson Profar's impending return from an 80-game PED suspension is vital for the struggling Atlanta Braves. The team had hoped to manage his absence with depth options, but those replacements have largely been underwhelming. Players like Jarred Kelenic and Bryan De La Cruz posted negative fWAR, while Alex Verdugo only marginally improved the situation. Eli White stands out with minimal positive contribution but still underperforming. The Braves seem to lack viable alternatives, amplifying the urgency for Profar’s return to bolster the lineup for the remainder of the season.
Jurickson Profar’s forthcoming return from suspension could be a much-needed boost for the Braves, whose substitutes have underperformed terribly in his absence.
Despite the Braves' initial depth, the replacements for Profar have woefully underachieved, collectively contributing to the team's offensive challenges this season.
