Braves not worried about Acuña's postseason slump

Original: 'He doesn't have to be Superman': Braves not worried about Acuña's postseason slump https://www. mlb.com/news/braves-bel

The Atlanta Braves are standing behind Ronald Acuña Jr. as he struggles in the postseason during the NLDS, with those around the club insisting the star outfielder doesn't have to carry the team like Superman. Atlanta's confidence reflects a belief that his bat will break out of the slump, even as opposing managers reconsider how to pitch to a slugger whose October numbers have lagged behind his regular-season dominance.

Why now: Acuña's uncharacteristic postseason struggles are a major storyline as the Braves compete in the NLDS.
