Overview

  • Riley left Friday’s contest in St. Louis after three innings due to lower abdominal tightness.
  • He recorded an RBI single and scored in the first inning before departing in the fourth.
  • The departure marked his first missed action in 2025 after appearing in every game through 93 contests.
  • He entered the hiatus batting .274 with 14 home runs and 48 RBIs, ranking him among Atlanta’s top offensive contributors.
  • With the Braves sitting 40-52 and ten games out of a wild-card spot, Riley’s availability is critical for their postseason push.
