Injury: Another Massive Injury For Braves, As Third Baseman Fractures His Right Hand
The Braves suffered another significant setback just before the Phillies arrived in Atlanta on Sunday night, as slugging third baseman Austin Riley was ruled out for the remainder of the regular season due to a fracture in his right hand.
Riley is expected to be sidelined for 6 to 8 weeks, adding to the series of injuries that have plagued the Braves throughout the season.
Other key injuries include:
– Catcher Sean Murphy, who strained his oblique on Opening Day and missed two months.
– Ace Spencer Strider, who sustained an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery after just two starts.
– Ronald Acuña Jr., who tore his ACL just before Memorial Day.
– Michael Harris II, who was out for two months with a hamstring strain.
– Ozzie Albies, who is currently out for two months due to a fractured wrist.
