When the Atlanta Braves lost Austin Riley to the injured list with his second abdominal injury of 2025, it certainly raised some questions. These sorts of injuries happening back-to-back like Riley's did is rarely coincidental and it is fair to wonder if the Braves rushed Riley back too quickly and it bit everyone involved and potentially cost Riley the rest of his season.
Unlike his first injury, the Braves have been very cautious this go-around with Riley and there has been little to no word as to when he could return as he continued to experience discomfort in his abdomen.
