Riley landed on the IL on July 12 and returned to the lineup for the series opener with the Texas Rangers. There was nothing going for him upon his return, though, as he went hitless in four at-bats.
In fact, there was nothing going for the Braves as a whole, as they dropped the series opener 8-3. Austin Riley and the Braves look to get back in the win column this evening at 7:05 ET behind Grant Holmes.
