Fri Mar 14 18:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Braves’ Riley Exits Spring Training Game After Being Hit by Pitch
**Jupiter, FL -** Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley left Friday’s Grapefruit League game against the Washington Nationals after being hit on the right hand by a pitch. While the team is calling the removal a precaution, the incident understandably raised concerns given Riley suffered a fractured right hand last August, an injury that ended his 2024 season prematurely. Although initial reports are encouraging, the Braves are monitoring Riley’s condition closely and may order further medical imaging to assess the extent of any potential damage. His status for upcoming games remains uncertain.
