Braves clinch NL East, activate Suarez and clear Acuña for playoffs
The Atlanta Braves activated pitcher Robert Suarez and confirmed outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was cleared after a brief injury scare on 24 September, bolstering a bullpen that had returned from the injured list as the club prepared for the postseason in Atlanta, Georgia. The team had clinched the National League East division by sweeping the Houston Astros on 16 September, a victory that also secured a wild-card berth and marked their first playoff appearance since the previous season.
