The Atlanta Braves are going to take their time with All-Star third baseman Austin Riley. According to MLB.com’s Mark Bowman, they won’t be activating him on Tuesday, the first day he’s eligible to come off the 10-day injured list. He might come back on Friday.
Meanwhile, the fate of Stuart Fairchild has been decided. The Braves announced that they traded him to the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations. Fairchild had been designated for assignment on Monday to make room for catcher Sandy León on the 40-man roster so they could promote him to the Majors.
