Austin Riley went 3-for-4 with three singles in Monday's 1-0 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Riley was the only Braves hitter that bothered to bring his bat to the ball game Monday night. The two-time All-Star picked up three of his club's seven hits, including a ninth-inning single off Padres closer Mason Miller that made things at least a little interesting. Riley has finally been showing some life at the plate again lately, going 9-for-23 while hitting safely in 5-of-6 games.
Austin Riley went 3-for-5 with three singles and one RBI in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Riley certainly needed a game like this. Coming into this series with the Giants, the two-time All-Star had come up with only two hits over his previous six games. Over the first two games against the Giants, despite two Braves losses, Riley has gone 4-for-9 with a double. The suddenly slumping Braves could certainly use a hot streak from him.
Austin Riley went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI, and one run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
If anyone in the Braves lineup was desperate for a big hit, it was Riley going into Friday's game. Over his previous eight games, the two-time All-Star had picked up just one hit in 25 at-bats, striking out nine times in that span while seeing his average dip to .204. Perhaps Friday's RBI double can get Riley back on track a bit.
Austin Riley went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Riley has gone just 1-for-11 over the past three days against the Marlins, but he made that one hit really count in the second inning of Wednesday's contest. The blast gave the Braves a 3-1 lead early, and they never looked back. Riley is batting an ugly .213 alongside a weak .667 OPS through 50 games, but the two-time All-Star is up to eight homers with 31 RBI in the Braves' stout lineup.
Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double, and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Riley got the Braves out to an early lead with his first-inning deep drive, and they never looked back. Riley had been scuffling a bit coming into Sunday, picking up only two hits over his previous 14 at-bats. He snapped that skid in a big way.
