Robert Suarez Nears Activation For Braves Bullpen After Rehab Outing

Atlanta Braves reliever Robert Suarez is 'highly likely' to be activated from the 60-day injured list soon, potentially by Wednesday or Thursday, according to GM Alex Anthopoulos. Suarez recently returned to action in the Gwinnett Stripers' season finale, pitching a scoreless inning with one strikeout while throwing 96-97 mph fastballs. His healthy return provides a major boost to the Braves bullpen as they make final preparations for the upcoming postseason run.
