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.

Rookie Drake Baldwin has 6 RBIs as Braves win 9-5 to hand Giants their 6th straight loss
ATLANTA (AP) — Rookie Drake Baldwin drove in six runs, Ronald Acuña Jr. scored three times and the Atlanta Braves beat San Francisco 9-5 on Monday night, handing the Giants their season-high sixth straight loss. Baldwin was 3 for 5 and scored 2 runs from the DH slot. Acuña had a double and three walks. Willy Adames was 4 for 5 with a home run, two doubles and two RBIs for the Giants. The Braves took a 5-1 lead in the first inning thanks to a wild start from Giants starter Hayden Birdsong (4-4), who did not record an out. He walked the first three batters before Baldwin cleared the bases with a three-run double. Birdsong then walked Ozzie Albies and hit Sean Murphy before he was removed. Birdsong also had a wild pitch to Matt Olson and nearly hit Acuña earlier in the inning. Matt Gage came on and struck out two before giving up a two-run single to Nick Allen. Bryce Elder (4-6) allowed 11 base runners on eight hits and three walks, but gave up just three runs in five innings. He stranded seven runners and picked up his second straight win. Aaron Bummer, Rafael Montero and Enyel De Los Santos covered the final four innings, allowing two runs. Acuña turned in another jaw-dropping play, this time on the basepaths. On what appeared to be a routine single to center field by Baldwin in the fourth inning, Acuña scored from first after running through a stop sign at third base and diving in just ahead of the throw from Adames at shortstop. Key moment After Baldwin gave the Braves a 3-1 lead in the first, Allen's two-run single wrapped up the five-run first inning and put Atlanta firmly in control. Key stat Birdsong threw just 6 of his 25 pitches for strikes in the first inning and now has 17 walks in his last 13 innings. It is the first time in 37 career appearances he did not recorded an out. Up next Braves RHP Davis Daniel (0-0, 1.80) faces Giants RHP Landen Roupp (4-4, 3.27) on Tuesday. ___ AP MLB:
