Austin Riley Clears COVID Protocols, Will Return Wednesday
4 years agoAtlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols and will return to the lineup on Wednesday, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Riley last played on Thursday and was penciled into Monday's lineup before being removed just prior to the game's start. Riley hasn't shown power this spring, but he's been getting on base at a good clip with a .357 average and .400 on-base percentage. He appears to be on track to start the season on time, where he will be a potential 15- to 20-homer threat at third base.
