Braves 3B Austin Riley Heads to IL With Abdominal Strain For 2nd Time in 2025
Major League Baseball Braves 3B Austin Riley Heads to IL With Abdominal Strain For 2nd Time in 2025 Published Aug. 4, 2025 12:09 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley was placed on the 10-day injured list for the second time in two months with a strained lower abdominal muscle on Monday. Riley suffered the injury while tagging out Cincinnati's Elly De La Cruz near home plate in the Braves' 4-2 win on Sunday in the rain-delayed MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway. Riley also landed on the IL on July 12 with a strained abdomen. He returned on July 25. The Braves recalled infielders Nacho Alvarez Jr. and Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Gwinnett before opening a home series against Milwaukee on Monday night. The team optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Gwinnett following Sunday's game. Riley is hitting .260/309/.428 with 16 home runs. He joins another position player, Ronald Acuña Jr., on the IL, as Acuña was placed there on July 30 with a Grade 1 right calf strain and will miss at least a couple of weeks recovering. Atlanta also put starter Grant Holmes on the 60-day IL with elbow rightness in his throwing arm on July 27, and Chris Sale isn't eligible to return until late-August thanks to a left rib fracture. Injuries have ravaged the Braves' roster with injuries like these since Opening Day, when the season began without the likes of Acuña and Spencer Strider. They sit at 47-63 through 110 games, in fourth place in the NL East and 14 games back of a wild card.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber Projected to Break Bank With Free Agent Contract
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kyle Schwarber has become indispensable for the Philadelphia Phillies, and that's something that will weigh heavy on the team's mind this winter. After one more push for the Phillies' first World Series title since 2008, Schwarber is set to hit free agency. After landing a four-year, $79 million deal from Philadelphia before the 2022 season, he looks poised to do far better this time around. With 169 homers in a Phillies uniform (second-most in baseball behind Aaron Judge since 2022), Schwarber is such a power threat that even as a primary designated hitter approaching his mid-thirties, he should command a nine-figure deal. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 25: Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Philadelphia Phillies in action against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on July 25, 2025 in New York City. The Phillies defeated... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 25: Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Philadelphia Phillies in action against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on July 25, 2025 in New York City. The Phillies defeated the Yankees 12-5. (Photo by) More McIsaac/Getty How far into the hundreds of millions will Schwarber push? And more importantly, will it be the Phillies to give him his well-earned contract? On Monday, Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller predicted that Philadelphia would indeed step up, projecting a four-year, $140 million contract for Schwarber to remain a Phillie through 2029. "Bryce Harper has been quite vocal in his opinion that the Phillies should re-sign Schwarber this offseason. Do they have room in the budget, though? While simultaneously trying to deal with the impending losses of JT Realmuto and Ranger Suárez?" asked Miller. "As vitally important as he has been to their cause this season, they almost have to find a way. Maybe they borrow a page from the Dodgers' deferrals playbook to get it done, but there should be many more Schwarbombs in Citizens Bank Park for what's left of the 2020s." Schwarber has been the Phillies' best hitter this season, posting a .957 OPS while leading the National League in home runs with 38 and all of Major League Baseball in RBI with 88. That's the type of production you can't replace, and it would be surprising to see the Phillies let it slip from their grasp.
