The Atlanta Braves are set to include catcher Chuckie Robinson on their playoff roster after winning the National League East division title. Following a sweep over the Houston Astros, they are currently seeded third in the National League but may aim for the second seed. Robinson, a former Dodgers player, joins as additional depth at the catcher position, especially with Drake Baldwin taking on designated hitter duties. The Braves have other options, but sources suggest Robinson is the likely candidate.
- •Braves clinched the NL East title before playoff preparations.
- •Robinson spent most of the season as minor-league depth.
- •Atlanta may seek the NL's second seed to avoid the Wild Card Series.
- •Sandy Leon and Maverick Handley are also potential catching options.
