Austin Riley made an incredible play to tag out speedster Elly De La Cruz during a rundown at the Speedway Classic. Unfortunately, that same incredible play has landed Riley on the 10-day injured list. The Braves announced this morning that Riley was headed back to the IL with a strained lower abdominal muscle. It's the same injury that landed him on the IL back in early July.
In his spot, Atlanta has recalled top infield prospect Nacho Alvarez Jr. Additionally, the Braves' recalled infielder Jonathan Ornelas and optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Triple-A Gwinnett.
