Well the Braves’ position in the playoffs may be clear (the third seed in the NL), but their opponent is far from clear, with the Padres, Phillies, and Cubs all very close to clinching wild-card spots, but within 0.5 games…
The Atlanta Braves have secured the third seed in the National League playoffs, though their postseason opponent remains undecided. Outfielder Ronald Acuna is expected to return to the lineup Thursday after avoiding significant injury when fouling a ball off his shin on Tuesday. Meanwhile, pitcher Robert Suarez was activated from the injured list following an extended absence, resulting in Owen Murphy being optioned.
Ahead of the postseason, the Braves earned a walk-off victory against the Cincinnati Reds in a game highlighted by a dominant outing from Chris Sale. Elsewhere in Major League Baseball, the Tampa Bay Rays ruled out Shane McClanahan from the divisional round, the New York Yankees hope Aaron Judge can play in the wild-card series, and the Los Angeles Dodgers activated Shohei Ohtani and Tarik Skubal.
