The Braves' infield took another hit with Whit Merrifield's fractured foot, but timely news allowed him to potentially play through the pain.
Despite an injury-plagued season, the Braves are hopeful Merrifield can return soon, providing a much-needed boost to their lineup amid ongoing player shortages.
Merrifield's performance has been respectable, filling in for Ozzie Albies, and the Braves are depending on his versatility as they navigate injuries.
Albies is progressing but still experiences discomfort, while Riley's absence extends to the postseason, making Merrifield's role crucial in the interim.
