EDGE Analysis

President of baseball operations David Stearns said that Cousins is "good to go" for the upcoming playoff series against Atlanta. The reliever has been on the 10-day injured list since Sept. 25, but his return is a welcome one as he has a 2.70 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 30 appearances this season.
