Why isn't Ronald Acuña playing for the Braves this postseason?

The Braves are two wins away from their first National League pennant since 1999, and have gotten here without one of their star outfielders.

Ronald Acuña Jr., the NL Rookie of the Year in 2018, hasn't played for the Braves since July 10 because of a torn right ACL that sidelined him for the remainder of the season.

He played in 82 games before the injury and had 24 home runs and 52 RBIs while stealing 17 bases. His slash line in that span was .283/.394/.596 while being worth 3.6 WAR, fifth-best on the team, even among his teammates who played more of the season than he did.
