Braves reportedly calling up top prospect Austin Riley
The Atlanta Braves will call up top prospect Austin Riley on Wednesday, according to The Athletic's David O'Brien.
What It Means:
The move comes after Ender Inciarte exited Tuesday's game with back tightness. Riley is a third baseman, but he had started four of the past five games in left field for Triple-A Gwinnett, indicating that's where the Braves intend to use him.
Riley slashed .299/.377/.681 with a 1.058 OPS in 162 plate appearances at Triple-A this season. He posted 15 homers, 10 doubles, 39 RBI, and 32 runs scored in 37 games.
