Dustin Peterson playing his way into conversations this spring

Dustin Johnson, arguably the Braves' long-term solution in left field, seemed destined to spend most of 2018 in the minors, is turning heads this spring and might force the team to break camp with him on the roster. He went 1-for-2 with a 2-run homer today against the Tigers, continuing to show everybody what a solid power-hitter he can be when in the lineup.

Fantasy Impact:

It was pretty much a slam-dunk that Preston Tucker or Lane Adams would start in left until Ronald Acuna Jr. was called up but Peterson's play is sparking conversations. At some point soon, Peterson will enter fantasy relevance for most leagues.
