Austin Riley Smacks Solo Homer Tuesday Night

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley smacked a solo home run Tuesday night as the San Francisco Giants defeated Atlanta 5-4. The home run was his 10th on the season and his third in the last 10 games. Riley's power has been sapped this season with him only being on pace for about 20 home […]

Ramon Laureano Could Land On Injured List

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (back, oblique) is now a candidate to land on the injured list after his back pain has moved toward his oblique.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hamstring) has yet to test his hamstring by running, but that could happen soon.

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/2/24) - Today's Top Lineups
