Austin Riley Injury: Back to IL with abdominal strain

Atlanta placed Riley on the 10-day injured list Monday with a strained lower abdominal muscle.

Riley spent a couple weeks on the injured list in July with an abdominal strain and is now back on the IL after aggravating the injury Sunday. He will be eligible for activation Aug. 14, but Atlanta will likely be more cautious with his recovery this time around. Nacho Alvarez was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to step in as the everyday third baseman.
