It\u2019s just about getting him out there every day and stockpiling the at-bats until he can get here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Profar hit leadoff for the Braves in four starts before receiving the suspension that resulted from a positive banned substance test. Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. has since reclaimed the top spot in the batting order, but Snitker knows the perfect place to pencil in Profar\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>He said the outfielder\u2019s versatility and switch-hitting ability makes him the ideal candidate to hit behind Acu\u00f1a. Profar\u2019s return will provide stability in the No. 2 spot, as the Braves have used six players there \u2014 recently based upon analytical matchups \u2014 this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Braves are building momentum after three straight series wins, and a further reinforcement is close to returning.
