The Indians failed to make it to the playoffs in 2019 after a three-year stretch of winning the AL Central.
Cleveland becomes the third team in the division to officially qualify for the playoffs alongside the first-place White Sox and Minnesota Twins.
Seeding for the Junior Circuit is yet to be decided. Cleveland currently sits as the top wild-card team and seventh seed.
The first round of the playoffs is set to begin Sept. 29 with three-game series.
