Braves Austin Riley Back In Action Following Injury Scare

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley is back in the lineup Saturday night following an injury scare. He'll play the hot corner per usual and will bat second behind Jarred Kelenic.

Riley got work in earlier in the day before being penciled into the lineup.

Per multiple reports, Riley hit in the cages on Saturday. According to MLB.com's Mark Bowman, Riley felt good afterward. Bowman added in a second tweet, to show Riley is good to go, that the Braves two-time All-Star hit a few long balls beyond the centerfield wall.

Austin Riley’s hand is fine.
