Braves third baseman Austin Riley has made a full recovery from a season-ending hand fracture suffered when he was hit by a pitch in August.
Fantasy Impact
Riley has been taking live batting practice early in camp and all signs point toward full health in 2025. The 27-year-old took a step back at the plate by his standards in 2024 when he hit 19 home runs alongside a .783 OPS in 110 games but remains a high-end third base power option entering the 2025 season.
Austin Riley (hand) will not return this season.
Fantasy Impact
Riley underwent a CT scan Monday that revealed there was not enough healing in his hand for him to return this season. Gio Urshela will likely remain the primary third baseman for the Braves for the remainder of the season.
Austin Riley is scheduled to undergo a CT scan on Monday to see if he can get the cast removed from his right hand.
Fantasy Impact
Riley was given a 6-to-8 week timetable a month ago. He could be ready to return for the start of the postseason if he is able to get his cast off.
The Braves have announced that Austin Riley is out 6-to-8 weeks with a fractured right hand.
Fantasy Impact
Riley exited Sunday’s game after being hit on the right hand. An MRI Monday showed a fractured hand, that will now cause him to miss a considerable amount of time.
Austin Riley will undergo further evaluation after initial X-rays were inconclusive.
Fantasy Impact
Riley was forced out of Sunday's game early due to the injury after he was hit by a pitch. There should be a further update on his status early this upcoming week.
