Austin Riley has been put on the paternity list by the Atlanta Braves, the Braves’ official website reports.
Congratulations to Riley on the birth of his child but this does mean he will be away from the team for a couple of days. The Braves recalled Travis Demeritte from Triple-A to take his place on the roster. Riley had a breakout season last year with 33 HRs and 107 RBIs while batting .303 in 160 games for the Braves. He was off to a similar start this season with a .292 average, two HRs, and six RBI in 13 games.
