Braves' Lane Thomas: Gets injection, hits off tee
Thomas (intercostal) took some swings off a tee Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Thomas was diagnosed with a left intercostal strain late last week, but he was cleared to swing a bat shortly after that following a cortisone injection. Atlanta believes Thomas could be ready to return early on during the postseason.

Braves' JR Ritchie: Handed another start
Ritchie will start Tuesday's game against the Reds in Atlanta.
Despite getting lit up for six runs over 4.2 innings in a start against the Cubs last Wednesday, Ritchie will stick around with Atlanta for another turn through the rotation. The 23-year-old righty has struggled with his control (13.7 percent walk rate) and with keeping the ball in the yard (11 home runs allowed over 62.2 innings) across 15 appearances (nine starts) with the big club this season.

Braves' Robert Suarez: Will be activated this week
Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Monday on 680 The Fan that it's "highly likely" Suarez (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday or Thursday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.
Suarez made a rehab appearance with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, striking out one in a scoreless inning. It was the veteran reliever's first outing in three months, as he's been slowly working his way back from right elbow inflammation. A healthy Suarez should be a big boost to the Atlanta bullpen, though it's unlikely he'll be available to pitch on back-to-back days for a bit.

Braves' Dylan Dodd: Locks down rare save
Dodd struck out the side to notch the save Sunday against Houston.
Closer Raisel Iglesias worked each of the past two days, opening the door for Dodd on Sunday. The southpaw helped Atlanta clinch the National League East title with an impressive showing, logging just his second save of the season and first since April 12 versus Cleveland. Dodd should continue to be a key high-leverage arm for Atlanta going forward, posting a 2.31 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB with 14 holds across 46.2 innings.

Braves' Martin Perez: Battles control in no-decision
Perez didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Houston, striking out two while allowing one run on six hits and two walks in 4.1 innings.
Perez had a hard time finding the zone Sunday, landing only 45 of his 79 pitches for strikes, but he kept Houston in check with eight groundouts. The veteran southpaw has been a serviceable member of the Atlanta rotation, giving up two earned runs or fewer in eight of his last 10 outings. Perez, who has a quality 3.04 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 102:62 K:BB over 142 innings, is scheduled to finish his regular season in Miami.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Drills clutch grand slam
Acuna went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and two walks Saturday in a 6-3 win over the Astros.
Acuna delivered a clutch go-ahead blast in the seventh inning for his fourth career grand slam. The star outfielder has been sizzling at the dish in the month of September, hitting .343 with seven homers, five doubles and 19 RBI over 70 at-bats. Through 450 plate appearances this year, Acuna is slashing a healthy .259/.351/.464 with 20 long balls, 55 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 60 runs scored.

Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Locks down 34th save
Iglesias struck out one in a clean ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against Houston.
Iglesias submitted his third consecutive perfect outing Saturday. The veteran closer has given up just one earned run in his last 12 appearances, converting all nine of his save opportunities over that span. On the season, he sports a 2.64 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 61:17 K:BB with 34 saves (37 chances) across 58 frames.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Fans four in win No. 10
Holmes (10-5) notched the win Saturday against Houston, striking out four while allowing two runs on eight hits and no walks in six innings.
Isaac Paredes went yard in the first inning, but Holmes settled in and fired five innings of one-run ball afterwards. The right-hander has tossed at least six innings while yielding fewer than three runs in five of his last nine starts, posting five scoreless outings during that stretch. With a 3.47 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 114:59 K:BB over 147.2 innings, he's set to wrap up the regular season with a road matchup against the Marlins.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Homers in win Friday
Acuna went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Astros.
Acuna gave Atlanta valuable insurance in the seventh inning, launching a two-run homer off AJ Blubaugh to extend the lead to 4-1 and bringing his season total to 19. The star outfielder later made an equally important defensive play, racing into shallow right field for a diving catch on Jose Altuve's potential hit to strand two runners and preserve Atlanta's two-run lead at the end of the eighth. Acuna has hit safely in six of his last seven games, batting .323 with a 1.041 OPS in that span.

Braves' Matt Olson: Reaches 40-homer mark Friday
Olson went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Astros.
Olson capped his three-hit night with a two-run homer off Enyel De Los Santos in the ninth inning, extending Atlanta's lead to 6-2. The blast was his 40th of the season, making him the fifth player in franchise history with multiple 40-homer campaigns. Olson also singled and scored ahead of Michael Harris' two-run homer in the fourth as Atlanta clinched a postseason berth with the victory.

Braves' Tyler Mahle: Earns win while fanning six
Mahle (7-10) earned the win Friday against the Astros after allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings.
Mahle continued his impressive run since joining Atlanta, limiting Houston's only damage against him to Isaac Paredes' RBI single in the fourth inning. Mahle threw 64 of 98 pitches for strikes and departed with a 2-1 advantage before Atlanta pulled away late. He has allowed one earned run or zero in seven of his eight starts with Atlanta, posting a 1.28 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over 49.1 innings since he was acquired from San Francisco before the trade deadline. He's expected to make his next start against the Reds on Thursday.
