Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley is expected to miss approximately six to eight weeks due to fracturing his right hand.
The fracture happened on Sunday during the Braves’ 3-1 victory over the Angels after being struck by a 97 mph fastball from Jack Kochanowicz in the top of the first inning.
The loss of Riley is the latest in a series of injuries that the Braves have faced this season.
