Braves Third Baseman Sidelined For 6 8 Weeks

Atlanta Braves Lose Austin Riley to Injury

Braves' Third Baseman Sidelined for 6-8 Weeks

The Atlanta Braves have announced that third baseman Austin Riley will miss approximately six to eight weeks after undergoing an MRI that revealed a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee.

Riley was injured on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels when he was struck by a pitch from reliever Jack Kochanowicz. The injury is the latest in a string of setbacks for the Braves, who have been ravaged by injuries all season.

Riley is one of the Braves' most important players, and his absence will be a major blow to the team's playoff hopes.

Other Notable Braves Injuries

  • Ronald Acuña Jr. - Out with a torn ACL since July 10
  • Ozzie Albies - Out with a broken foot since June 14
  • Marcell Ozuna - Out with a sprained thumb since May 28
  • Mike Soroka - Out with an Achilles injury since August 3, 2020
  • Ian Anderson - Out with a right shoulder impingement since June 25
  • Huascar Ynoa - Out with a right shoulder injury since May 11

The Braves are currently in second place in the NL East, 5.5 games behind the New York Mets. With Riley out, the Braves will need to find a way to replace his production at the plate and in the field.
