Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley will miss at least the rest of the regular season after breaking his right hand.
The injury-plagued Atlanta Braves have sustained another major blow, announcing Monday that third baseman Austin Riley will miss at least the rest of the regular season after breaking his right hand. Riley was struck Sunday by a 97 mph fastball from Los Angeles Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz in the first inning of Atlanta's 3-1 victory. An MRI confirmed the fracture.
This is the second significant setback for Riley, who has 19 homers and 56 RBIs in 110 games. He sat for two weeks in May with a strained muscle near his rib cage. Now, he's dealing with a much more serious issue, leaving the Braves with a big hole in their lineup. The trade deadline has passed, and they don't have many viable options in their organization to fill the void. Riley hit 37 homers last season. He has 153 homers for Atlanta since his big league debut in 2019.
