Riley’s Batting Drop Sparks Braves’ Search | MLB News
Description
The Braves face off against the Pirates in a high-stakes rubber match, with Bryce Elder taking the mound against Mitch Keller. Manager Walt Weiss makes a bold move by dropping star slugger Austin Riley to seventh in the lineup — a drastic shift for the two-time All-Star and franchise’s highest-paid player, whose stats are hitting career lows. With Riley’s production lagging despite his power and RBIs, the Braves are experimenting to reignite his form, while also reshuffling the lineup with Jim Jarvis at shortstop and Dominic Smith as DH. This game could be a turning point — watch how Riley responds as Atlanta looks to salvage the series and turn things around.
