Austin Riley of the Braves leaves the game after a home run in the series finale against the Angels

It's unclear if Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker is listening to Queen's “Another One Bites the Dust” in his office, but the Braves suffered another injury on Sunday.

Third baseman Austin Riley left the series finale against the Los Angeles Angels after being hit by a pitch in the first inning. Luke Williams came in at third baseman after Riley left.

The pitch that hit Riley was not in the ideal spot.

“Gosh, Austin Riley is out of the game after being hit by a pitch on his right hand/wrist in the first inning,” wrote Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan on X (formerly Twitter). “Luke Williams at third base for the Braves.”

Riley stayed in the game for the rest of the first inning, running the bases, but he did not take the field for the Braves in the first inning.

This season, the Braves have gone one step forward and two steps back when it comes to injuries. Centerfielder Michael Harris II returned for the Braves on Wednesday, but Jorge Soler left the team in the same game because of a hamstring injury.

Although the Braves and Soler sound confident that the 2021 World Series MVP will return soon, he hasn't played since Wednesday. Now the Braves have to hold their breath and hope Riley isn't out long-term.

Soler and Riley are not the only injured Braves. Right fielder Ronald Acuña and starting pitcher Spencer Strider are out for the rest of the season. Second baseman Ozzie Albies and pitchers Reynaldo López and AJ Minter are also currently on the 10-day injured list.

Riley isn't having his best season this year. But he made the NL All-Star team in both 2022 and 2023. He also won the NL Sliver Slugger Award for third base in 2021 and 2023.

This season, his batting average is .256 with 19 home runs, 56 RBI and 63 runs in 425 at-bats.
