  • 45-29-6 2nd Place
    • Bats second in return
      Riley went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

      Advice: Seeing his first game action since May 12, Riley looked a bit rusty but appeared fully recovered from an intercostal strain. The third baseman hit second in the order with lefty Mitchell Parker on the bump for the Nats, and that could be his new home in the batting order against southpaws with Atlanta shuffling things around in the wake of a season-ending knee injury for Ronald Acuna. Through 167 plate appearances this year, Riley is slashing a disappointing .238/.311/.377 with three homers and 18 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 6:48 am

    • Austin Riley back in the lineup on Monday
      Austin Riley (side) is back in the lineup for Monday’s game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Riley missed 13 straight games with a side injury, but the Braves opted not to put him on the IL. With Ronald Acuna Jr. now out for the season, the Braves are certainly ecstatic to bring Riley back into the fold. Riley is hitting second in the lineup without Acuna there, as Ozzie Albies hits lead-off. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:18 am

    • Returns after two-week absence
      Riley (side) will start at third base and bat second in Monday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Riley wound up missing just over two weeks (and 13 games) of action with a nagging left intercostal strain but is finally ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup. He will be asked to carry even more of a load following Ronald Acuna's season-ending ACL tear. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:12 am

    • Absence continues as expected
      Riley (side) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Riley likely won't return to action until Monday versus Washington, so it's no surprise the third baseman will sit for the 13th straight game due to an intercostal strain. Zack Short will receive another start at the hot corner in the series finale at Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:44 am

    • Austin Riley (side) remains out of lineup Sunday
      Austin Riley (side) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Pirates.

      Advice: That makes 13 straight games that Riley will miss due to his side soreness. The infielder will take a seat again with Zack Short drawing another start at the hot corner. Riley’s next chance to start will come Monday against the Nationals. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:34 am

    • Homers again Saturday
      Steer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: He touched up Walker Buehler in the first inning to give the Reds an early lead. As Mark Sheldon of MLB.com notes, Steer has now gone deep in back-to-back games after entering the series without a homer since May 1 (17 games). His struggles from the middle of the order this month have led the Reds to the cellar in the NL Central, though it's certainly not all his fault. Steer sits with a .227/.341/.403 line with six homers, 35 RBI, 25 runs scored and 11 steals through 50 games this season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:50 am

    • Spencer Steer homers again as Reds top Dodgers
      Spencer Steer homered for the second consecutive game on Saturday, helping to power the Reds to a 3-1 victory over the visiting Dodgers.

      Advice: Steer got the scoring started in the opening inning on Saturday, crushing a 362-foot (94.9 mph EV) solo shot off of Walker Buehler. That would wind up being his only hit in four at-bats on the night. On the season, the versatile 26-year-old is slashing .227/.341/.403 with six long balls and 35 RBI. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:57 pm

    • Austin Riley (side) out for 12th consecutive game
      Austin Riley (side) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Pirates.

      Advice: Yikes. Riley has progressed to taking batting practice without any issues, but it appears the Braves don’t want to take any chances here. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker told reports Friday that he doesn’t expect Riley back until Monday’s series opener against the Nationals. The 27-year-old fantasy star hasn’t played since May 12 and will miss his 12th consecutive contest on Saturday afternoon at PNC Park. It’ll be Zack Short drawing another start at the hot corner in his absence. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:14 am

    • Sitting as expected
      Riley (side) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Riley is likely to sit out until Atlanta begins its series against the Nationals on Monday, so the third baseman's absence Saturday isn't too surprising. Zack Short will continue starting at third base while Riley misses his 12th consecutive game. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:10 am
