It’s no secret the Atlanta Braves are at their best when Austin Riley’s in their lineup. And while his return on Tuesday means that the Braves’ lineup is better and more dangerous in the short-term, it also shouldn’t stop the team from making some decisions that could be for the best of the future of the team.
One of those decisions should be making sure that Nacho Alvarez continues to get chances to excel at the major league level.
Austin Riley’s return to the Braves shouldn’t overshadow Nacho Alvarez’s progress
Alvarez earned his latest MLB chance earlier this month when he was recalled from the minor leagues when Riley was placed on the injured list earlier this month with an abdomen injury.
