The Atlanta Braves are getting some murky news about one of their players. The Braves' Austin Riley is uncertain when he will be able to take the field again for the team, per The Athletic. Riley is nursing a rib injury on his left side that is leaving him unable to swing a bat.

The Braves have had to shuffle around their infield lineup for the last several games due to Riley's absence. The third baseman left Sunday's game due to soreness and has been out of the lineup ever since.
