Braves reinstate 3B Austin Riley from injured list
FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUL 25 – Austin Riley returns to boost the Braves' offense after a two-week abdominal injury, while Nacho Alvarez Jr. is sent to Triple-A following a .555 OPS performance, team officials said.
- The Atlanta Braves reinstated third baseman Austin Riley from the injured list on Friday, and optioned infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. to Triple-A Gwinnett.
- Earlier this month, Riley missed two weeks recovering from his abdominal strain after straining a lower abdominal muscle during a July 11 game in St. Louis.
- In eight games covering third base, Alvarez delivered a.555 OPS but drew praise for his glove at third base.
- Snitker noted that Riley’s return aligns with the lineup’s immediate needs, and he said Riley likely would have been activated earlier if this were a playoff push.
- Heading into the season’s final months, Riley’s return offers a needed offensive boost as Atlanta is fading with the trade deadline, highlighting long-term challenges.
