Braves' Riley hasn't healed, won't return in '24
Written by I Dig SportsAustin Riley's broken right hand has not healed sufficiently enough for the Atlanta Braves third baseman to return this season, manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday.
Snitker said a CT scan revealed that it was too early to remove Riley's cast. The 27-year-old two-time All-Star was struck in the hand by a pitch from Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz on Aug. 18.
The Braves (85-71) are 1 1/2 games out of the final National League wild-card slot entering Tuesday's game with the visiting New York Mets.
RIley batted .256 with 19 home runs and 56 RBIs in 110 games this season. In six seasons with the Braves, Riley has 153 homers and 429 RBIs while batting .272.
