Braves' Austin Riley returns to IL with lower abdominal strain
Another stint on the injured list seemed inevitable for Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley after he left Sunday's MLB Speedway Classic with lower abdominal pain. That was confirmed with the team announcing that Riley is back on the IL with a strained lower abdominal muscle. Riley sustained the injury during the first inning while stretching to tag out Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz at home plate. He stayed on his knees after the play, indicating that he hurt himself and left the game. The third baseman recently returned from the IL on July 25 to recover from a lower abdominal strain, so it's possible that he re-aggravated that injury while tagging out De La Cruz. Playing 102 games this season, Riley is batting .260/.309/.428 with 16 home runs, 20 doubles and 54 RBI in 447 plate appearances. To replace him on the active roster and at third base, the Braves called up Nacho Alvarez Jr. from Triple-A Gwinnett. In an earlier stint with Atlanta, Alvarez hit .200/.250/.233 in eight games. Atlanta also demoted outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Triple-A for the second time this season. Kelenic, 26, has spent most of this season in the minors, batting .218/.289/.321 with four home runs and 23 RBI with Gwinnett. With the Braves, he hit .161/.231/.300 in 65 plate appearances. The Braves are fourth in the NL East going into Monday's play at 47-63, 15.5 games behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies. Losing seven of its past 10 games, Atlanta is also 14 games from the NL's third wild-card playoff berth.

Ravens made a slew of roster moves, including adding two tight ends and waiving a kicker
Baltimore signed two tight ends and added Brent Urban among eight roster moves made by the Ravens on Saturday afternoon Baltimore announced eight total roster moves on Saturday and Sunday, with the shocker being the release of undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland. In all, the Ravens signed Brent Urban, Scotty Washington, and Baylor Cupp, while releasing Hoyland, tight end Sam Pitz, and linebacker Diwun Black. Signed Brent Urban Selected by Baltimore in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft, Urban will enter Year 12 in the league looking to help bolster one of the league's top defensive line groups. Urban played in 13 games last season and made 20 tackles. He helped the Ravens rank as the NFL's top run defense. Signed TE Scotty Washington A big, physical tight end, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound Washington was on Baltimore's practice squad the last two years and will return with Isaiah Likely rehabbing a surgically repaired foot. Signed TE Baylor Cupp The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Cupp is a former top recruit who played collegiately at Texas A&M and Texas Tech and spent last year on the Chiefs' practice squad. Waived K John Hoyland Hoyland had been part of a two-man competition with Tyler Loop to replace Justin Tucker as Baltimore's kicker, but he appears to have lost out to the sixth-round pick from Arizona. Waived TE Sam Pitz The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Minnesota Duluth product caught 71 balls for 940 yards and 17 touchdowns during a four-year college career, including a 33-360-2 line in 11 games last year. Waived LB Diwun Black Black (6-3, 246) logged 23 tackles (19 solo), including six tackles for loss, three sacks, and two forced fumbles during his lone season at Temple. Signed free agent RB D'Ernest Johnson Johnson spent his first four seasons in Cleveland and the last two years in Jacksonville. He has 214 career carries for 989 yards and three touchdowns. He'll join Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Rasheen Ali on the Ravens' depth chart. Waived T Ozzie Hutchinson Hutchinson (6-4, 305) signed with Baltimore following the 2025 NFL draft after he appeared in 41 games during his stint at Albany (2019-23), earning second-team All-CAA honors in his final season.
