Robert Suarez Activated by Braves After Elbow IL Stint
Atlanta's high-leverage reliever returns from a 60-day IL absence, though his fastball velocity is slightly down from pre-injury levels.
The Braves reinstated Robert Suarez from the 60-day IL ahead of their Wednesday game against Cincinnati. Suarez had been out since late June with right elbow inflammation and made only one minor league rehab appearance, throwing a scoreless inning for Triple-A Gwinnett. His four-seam fastball sat at 96.9 mph in that outing, a couple of ticks below his usual velocity. He is expected to pitch in two appearances over Atlanta's final five regular-season games as the team prepares for the postseason.
