Braves get big update on Austin Riley's injury rehab
The post Braves get big update on Austin Riley's injury rehab appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Atlanta Braves are having a tough year. The club has dealt with injuries, as well as some disappointing play. Atlanta is getting some good news though about the health of infielder Austin Riley. 'Austin Riley has been running in the outfield and running around the bases for the past 20-plus minutes. I would expect him to be activated from the injured list when he's eligible on Tuesday,' writer Mark Bowman posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday. Riley is nursing an injured abdomen. The infielder is hitting .274 this season, with 14 home runs and 48 RBIs. He last recorded stats on July 11, in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Braves are hoping to salvage a rough year Atlanta has lost games at a disappointing pace this season. The Braves fell to 11 games under .500, for the first time since the 2017 campaign. Atlanta is just 43-54 on the campaign, heading into a game on Sunday with the New York Yankees. In recent days, the Braves engaged in a trade with the Texas Rangers. Texas acquired former Braves pitcher Jose Ruiz, as well as cash, for pitcher Dane Dunning. Dunning has a 3.38 ERA this season working for the Rangers. With the MLB trade deadline approaching on July 31, Atlanta may not be done. The Braves are reportedly interested in dealing second baseman Ozzie Albies. Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is also a hot trade candidate, although he has said consistently he wants to stay in Atlanta. 'Atlanta is expected to listen to trade offers for second baseman Ozzie Albies, center fielder Michael Harris, and catcher Sean Murphy, but not until this winter,' USA Today's Bob Nightengale wrote, and reported by Newsweek. 'They are letting teams know that DH Marcell Ozuna, closer Raisel Iglesias, and reliever Pierce Johnson are all available. Ozuna, who has 10-and-5 rights, can veto any trade.' The Braves have six losses in their last 10 games, heading into Sunday.

Yankees make roster move after bullpen strategy backfires in Atlanta
Yankees make roster move after bullpen strategy backfires in Atlanta originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Yankees' sketchy pitching plan backfired Friday night, and now they need to scramble again to cover themselves. According to The New York Post's Joel Sherman, the team is designating reliever RIco Garcia for assignment after Thursday night's bullpen scramble in Atlanta. Garcia was one of four relievers used in the 8–1 loss, a self-inflicted mess following the All-Star break. The Yankees chose to open the second half with a bullpen game. After four days off. With a rotation already thinned by injury. J.T. Brubaker handled three innings in his debut. Garcia covered one. Ian Hamilton opened. It didn't work. And now the Yankees are short an arm again. This wasn't a surprise. It was preventable. They could have recalled a lengthened starter from Triple-A. Or gone with Will Warren, who last pitched on Sunday. Or Marcus Stroman, who pitched Friday and was lined up on extra rest. Instead, they used four relievers in Game 1 of a road trip and burned enough innings that someone had to go. Garcia was the odd man out. He'd just been picked up last week from the Mets, who DFA'd him as well. He has thrown 15.2 solid innings this year with a 3.45 ERA, but he was always an emergency arm they could cut if they needed to. So now the Yankees are scrambling again. Max Fried has been pushed back to the Toronto series. Cam Schlittler was scratched Friday with arm discomfort, but the Yankees are hopeful they will get him a start in the Blue Jays series as well. And with two games still to play in Atlanta, then a three-game series in Toronto, the Yankees are down to hoping someone steps up. Or steps in. The trade deadline is less than two weeks away, but the Yankees need to get there. Burning through the bullpen on the first day of the second half of the season wasn't a great start. And now they need another arm. Again This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
