For the second straight season, Atlanta Braves slugger Austin Riley's season has ended in August. After suffering an abdominal injury that wouldn't heal, the Braves announced that Riley underwent core injury surgery and would miss the remainder of the season.
While it looked like just a week ago the Braves third baseman was on the mend, the club will once again lean on the team's depth to try and get through the season.
Additionally, Austin Riley today underwent core injury surgery, performed by Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia, PA. He will miss the remainder of the regular season, and is expected to return for spring training in 2026.
