LOS ANGELES -- The Braves were hopeful Ender Inciarte's return from the disabled list would create consistent production at the top of their lineup and subsequently provide Freddie Freeman more run-producing opportunities.
But nearly a month later, the Braves are simply hoping Inciarte soon provides at least a hint of the consistency anticipated when he was acquired from the D-backs.
"We've watched his video of the swings he took last year, and everything looks the same," Braves hitting coach Kevin Seitzer said. "He's pressing big time. Coming to a new team, he wants to do well and wants to be an impact guy.
