There’s some unclear news regarding one of the players for the Atlanta Braves. According to The Athletic, Austin Riley of the Braves is unsure of when he will be able to play for the team once more. Riley’s left side rib ailment is being treated, which prevents him from being able to bat.
Riley’s absence has forced the Braves to switch up their infield lineup for the past few games. Due to soreness, the third baseman left Sunday’s game and hasn’t been in the starting lineup since.
Without a doubt, the Braves are eager to see their great infielder return soon. Riley offers significant assistance on defense even if he is having a relatively quiet offensive season for the Braves. With 18 runs batted in this season, he is hitting.245 overall. Having appeared in the batter’s box more than 600 times in each of the previous two seasons, he is accustomed to receiving plenty of at-bats.
The Braves’ third baseman has participated in the previous two All-Star games. Since the 2019 season, he has played in Atlanta for the entirety of his career. Additionally, Riley was the 2021 and 2023 Silver Slugger Award winner. He competed on the 2021 World Series Championship team as well.
