Braves Third Baseman Injured

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley suffered a hand injury during a recent game.

The 24-year-old was hit by a 97-mph fastball in the right hand, resulting in a non-displaced fracture of the hamate bone.

Riley is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, a significant blow to the Braves' lineup.

The injury occurred during a game against the New York Mets on May 25.

Riley is a key player for the Braves, batting .303 with 33 home runs and 87 RBIs in 2021.

He is considered one of the best young players in the league and was named an All-Star in 2021.

The Braves are currently in first place in the National League East.

They will have to rely on other players to step up in Riley's absence.

This is a developing story, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
