Profar, a switch-hitting outfielder, will help the Atlanta Braves fill Ronald Acuña Jr.’s absence and could be their starting left fielder when Acuña returns.

The Braves also signed Bryan De La Cruz to a one-year deal Dec. 16 to add outfield depth but otherwise had a quiet offseason before the addition of Profar. Profar, a switch-hitter, will join Michael Harris, Jarred Kelenic, De La Cruz and Eli White as Atlanta's top outfielders. Acuña could be ready to join the team in May or June.
