The Atlanta Braves are in Cleveland on Friday night to open a road series against the Guardians after taking two of three from their NL East rival New York Mets, improving to 53-68 but still sitting well outside the playoff picture.

Atlanta star Ronald Acuña Jr. was activated Friday night before the Braves' series opener against the Cleveland Guardians.

Catcher Sandy León was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. Acuña will return to face the Cleveland Guardians, as the Braves are set to start a three-game series against Cleveland on Friday. The five-time All-Star hasn't played since July 29 due to a calf strain.
