The Atlanta Braves have stayed relatively healthy in the 2024 MLB season, one of the few teams who can claim that midway through May. The injury bug finally got to the Braves on Sunday when All-Star third baseman Austin Riley was pulled from a 4-3 loss to the Mets.
Riley felt tightness on his left side during batting practice on Sunday but kept things quiet. He felt it again during an at-bat in the third inning and was removed in the bottom of the fourth. He'll be reevaluated on Monday after the team returns to Atlanta from New York.
