## Resource

Braves outfielder Lane Thomas goes on the injured list with an intercostal strain, forcing a roster shuffle as DaShawn Keirsey Jr. is called up to fill his spot. Thomas, acquired in a trade from Kansas City, hasn’t lived up to expectations in Atlanta, hitting just .171 with one homer in 21 games — especially against lefties. Before joining the Braves, he was having a solid season in KC but struggled defensively in center. Now sidelined, Mike Yastrzemski takes over left field against right-handed pitchers, while Mauricio Dubon could see more time there against lefties, potentially opening up shortstop opportunities for Ha-Seong Kim, who’s been battling injuries but showing improved bat lately. Keirsey, signed to a minor league deal, brings speed and versatility but has struggled offensively at Triple-A. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
