Robert Suarez's Return to Braves Expected Soon

Robert Suarez is on track for a potential return to the Atlanta Braves as he continues his rehabilitation from elbow inflammation. The All-Star reliever is scheduled to throw bullpen sessions this week, which will help determine his next steps.

Suarez has been sidelined since mid-June and only resumed throwing a few weeks ago. If he can complete his bullpen sessions without pain, the Braves are likely to activate him before the regular season concludes, allowing him to face major-league hitters ahead of the postseason.

The Braves have approached Suarez's recovery with caution, and his role as a reliever may facilitate a quicker return compared to a starting pitcher. His comeback would be a significant boost to a Braves bullpen that is aiming for success in October.
