Report: Braves Promote Prospect Austin Riley from Triple-A Gwinnett; Has 15 HRs

The Atlanta Braves are 19th in the league in home runs this season, but they are reportedly turning to their farm system for a power boost.

According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, the Braves will call up Austin Riley from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. O'Brien noted the Braves made the call after center fielder Ender Inciarte left Tuesday's contest against the St. Louis Cardinals with back tightness.

Riley has 15 home runs this season in the minor leagues, 13 of which have come in his last 18 games.
