Austin Riley has been taking batting practice and is expected to return to action for the Atlanta Braves shortly, following being hit by a pitch on his wrist. Having suffered a wrist injury previously, Riley has benefited from specially designed batting gloves with palm padding by Mizuno. Meanwhile, the Braves are dealing with injuries to other players, including catcher Sean Murphy, expected to miss the start of the season, and third base options due to injuries in Spring Training.
Austin Riley took BP in the cage today and felt great. Should be playing again within the next couple days.
Mizuno made Riley batting gloves with padding in the palms.
The Braves lost catcher Sean Murphy to a cracked rib after he was hit by a pitch earlier this month.
Nacho Alvarez, Jr., who could be an option to play third, has missed most of Spring Training with a wrist injury.
