Riley’s wife (Anna) sent out a heartfelt post for Riley earlier this week.

Looking At Riley
Riley was picked in the 1st round of the 2015 MLB Draft.
He is in the middle of his 8th season at the MLB level (all with the Braves).
The two-time MLB All-Star finished the regular season batting .219 with 124 hits, 19 home runs, 72 RBIs, 64 runs and nine stolen bases in 159 games.
Looking At The Braves Right Now
The Braves finished the regular season with a 94-68 record.
They won the National League East division title.
After missing the 2025 MLB playoffs, the Braves look like a true contender to win the World Series this year.
