Braves reinstate 3B Austin Riley from injured list

- On Friday, the Atlanta Braves reinstated third baseman Austin Riley from the injured list, optioning infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. to Triple-A Gwinnett to accommodate his return.
- Following a lower abdominal muscle injury during a July 11 game in St. Louis, Austin Riley landed on the IL on July 12 with a right abdominal strain.
- In eight games covering third base, Alvarez delivered a.555 OPS but drew praise for his glove.
- 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.
