Riley is progressing and looking good, but the Atlanta Braves felt it made more sense to wait a little longer to bring him back
The Atlanta Braves head into Tuesday with third baseman Austin Riley still out of the lineup. Manager Brian Snitker and company felt that while he’s looking better and is eligible to be activated, they felt there was no need to rush him.
Ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Giants, Snitker said when discussing the situation with Riley that it was worth giving it a few more days.
