Riley went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a walk in a 7-6 win against St. Louis on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Riley put Atlanta on the board and knotted the score at 2-2 with his two-run blast in the third inning. The long ball helped snap a mini-slump for Riley that included a 2-for-17 mark and just one RBI with nine strikeouts over his previous four games. The veteran third baseman has hit well overall so far in 2025, though, slashing .278/.316/.522 with six homers, 15 RBI and 12 runs over 95 plate appearances.

Riley went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Phillies on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Riley accounted for Atlanta's only extra-base hit of the contest with his solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. The 417-foot homer tied the score at 3-3, but Philadelphia ultimately pulled out the win on the strength of a Trea Turner ninth-inning long ball. Riley's home run was his first since Opening Day, but he seems to be heating up after a tepid start to the campaign, as he's collected three multi-hit performances and racked up four RBI over his past four games.

Riley will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Riley batted second in the first six games of the season and hit third in the seventh contest, so this is the lowest he's hit thus far in 2025. The 28-year-old is just 3-for-27 with an 11:2 K:BB in the early going. Ozzie Albies is batting second Friday, which is the first time he's hit higher than fifth against a righty this season.

Riley went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Hitting second in the Atlanta order, Riley took Alek Jacob deep in the fourth inning on a changeup that stayed up and over the heart of the plate. The 27-year-old third baseman dealt with injuries last season for the first time since his breakout 2021 campaign, but if Riley can stay healthy in 2025 he should be able to return to his usual 30-homer, 90-RBI ways.

Riley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman took Fernando Cruz deep in the sixth inning for the first runs of the game after Spencer Schwellenbach and Carlos Carrasco engaged in a pitcher's duel through the first part of the contest. It was Riley's second homer of the spring, and a good sign that the pitch he took off his right hand over the weekend won't be a lingering issue. Through 14 Grapefruit League appearances, Riley is batting .294 (10-for-34) with a 3:9 BB:K and three doubles in addition to his long balls.

Riley (hand) will start at third base and bat second in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Riley was forced to make an early exit from Friday's contest after getting hit on the right hand by a pitch, but no damage was done and he's right back in the lineup a day later. The 27-year-old has had a very successful spring so far, going 8-for-26 with two RBI and two runs scored over 11 games.

Riley avoided a fracture to his right hand after being hit by a pitch Friday and is considered day-to-day, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Riley was hit by a pitch in Friday's spring training game versus the Nationals. X-rays came back clean, and it appears a scheduled CT scan also was negative. Riley might sit out a day or two if he's sore, but he's avoided the worst-case scenario.
