The Atlanta Braves were dealt another tough blow in a season already teetering on collapse. On Saturday, the club announced that Austin Riley had been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right abdominal strain, delivering another setback to a team already riddled with injuries. The news compounds growing frustration among fans and the organization as the Braves injuries continue to pile up just days before the All-Star break.
On Saturday morning, following their hard-fought 6-5 win vs. the St. Louis Cardinals the night before, the team took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce a series of roster moves that underscored the mounting challenges facing the Braves.
