Ronald Acuna Jr.'s Early-Season Slump Shouldn't be Ignored
•Yahoo Sports
Acuna has struggled to begin the season.
The Atlanta Braves are now 6-3 overall to begin 2026 after losing 2-1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. It has still been an overall respectable start to the year for a Braves team that battled injury adversity during spring training, but Ronald Acuna Jr. has struggled to begin the new campaign.
On Saturday, Acuna went 0-3. The 28-year-old is now slashing just . 161/.
308/. 194 across nine games played this season. So, is this simply an early-season slump, or is there more to the situation?
