Austin Riley's broken right hand has not healed sufficiently enough for the Atlanta Braves third baseman to return this season, manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday.
Snitker said a CT scan revealed that it was too early to remove Riley's cast. The 27-year-old two-time All-Star was struck in the hand by a pitch from Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz on Aug. 18.
The Braves (85-71) are 1½ games out of the final National League wild-card slot entering Tuesday's game with the visiting New York Mets.
