    Braves' Austin Riley: Not returning in 2024

    Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that Austin Riley (hand) won't return this season, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta reports.The 27-year-old underwent a CT scan Monday which showed that his hand fracture is healing slower than expected, which will prevent Riley from having a chance to take the field again this season. Atlanta is currently 1.5 games back of the final wild-card spot in the National League, but Riley won't be an option to play even if the team makes a playoff run. The third baseman closes out 2024 with 19 homers, 56 RBI, 63 runs and a .256/.322/.461 slash line in 110 games.

    Braves' Austin Riley: Set to miss 6-to-8 weeks

    Atlanta announced Monday that Austin Riley was diagnosed with a fractured right hand following an MRI and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks.Initial testing on Riley's hand after he was hit by a pitch Sunday was inconclusive, but Monday's MRI revealed the third baseman is dealing with a fracture. The 6-to-8-week timeline all but guarantees Riley won't return before October, with Atlanta's final regular-season contest being exactly six weeks away from this past Sunday. Atlanta currently holds the NL's third and final wild-card spot, so there's a chance Riley could be back for postseason play. In the meantime, Luke Williams will likely step in as Atlanta's primary option at the hot corner.
