Five games in left field, five games in right field, but nine games in the outfield so far this year.
NFBC has him listed as qualified in the OF today.

In late June 2015 the same thing happened to Joey Gallo. He played 9 games in the OF but got credit for 10 because the total of the LF and CF was 10. But that was in-season and even though we brought to the attention of management it wasn't corrected and probably didn't affect anyone much because he went on to play more OF games anyway.
During the off season there was a lot of concern that Kris Bryant had only played 19 games at OF but was credited with 22 at NFBC because he had 8 LF, 7 CF, 7 RF appearances. Because it was going to affect his 2016 draft day eligibility NFBC made the correction.
They corrected Bryant's stats but not the STATS method for counting games played in the OF.
Hopefully SportsHubTech will take this into consideration when they build their system.
