The Atlanta Braves reinstated third baseman Austin Riley from the 10-day injured list on Friday.
The two-time All-Star landed on the IL on July 12 with a right abdominal strain.

Riley is a career .272 hitter with 167 homers and 477 RBIs in 812 games since making his debut with the Braves in 2019. The 2015 first-round draft pick was an All-Star in 2022 and 2023.
The Braves optioned infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.
Alvarez, 22, batted .200 (6-for-30) in eight games with one double and two runs.
