Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley exited Sunday's game after an injury scare. He felt tightness in his left side and was removed from the contest as a result. Braves manager Brian Snitker shared a positive update on Riley Tuesday, via David O'Brien of The Athletic.
“Austin Riley felt ‘much better' today and was even having trouble finding the spot that’s sore in his side, Snitker said. Still day-to-day, but sounds like IL definitely not needed, barring any setbacks,” O'Brien wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Riley is not playing on Tuesday.
