As the Atlanta Braves scramble to find a viable option to replace Austin Riley, Yuli Gurriel is going to get work at third base in the minors.

Per Joel Sherman of the New York Post and MLB Network, Gurriel will get some run at the hot corner in Triple-A even though he hasn't played the position in the big leagues since 2019.

Riley could miss the remainder of the regular season after being diagnosed with a fractured right hand that will keep him out for six to eight weeks.
