Thank you all for the tips. Since these posts I completed that season. I did promptly run into an 11 game losing streak (although that included 6 games against the Twins who ended with 110 wins and went 11-1 in the postseason) but then stabilised, finishing 76-86, but with a Pythagorean record of 83-79.

Checking the splits worked well so cheers for that. I have a young lefty RF who I'd called up when trying to bust the slump, and after your advice I realised he was rated 7/6/5 (on 1-10 scale) against RHP but 5/4/4 against lefties. He def got more productive when I took him out of the lineup against LHP. Less obvious to me how lineup shuffling impacted but I'm just going to keep trying that over the next few seasons and see how it goes.

Incidentally I got that young RF simply as a 1*-potential throw-in chip in a trade I made before the season which was primarily to acquire a backup CF. He is now a 3* player and has hit 5 HR with 1.044 OPS in the first dozen games of the new season. This game is awesome!
