5 years agoAtlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson and outfielder Austin Riley are both hoping to rejoin the big league club before the calendar flips to September as they recover from their respective injuries. Swanson increased his on-field activities by taking grounders at short while Riley was able to run without discomfort. A foot injury has sidelined Swanson since the end of July, which has put a damper on his offensive breakout campaign where he's clubbed 17 homers with 64 runs in 100 games. Riley hit the IL on August 8 with a partially torn LCL after a second-half that seen him hit a miserable .184. Both players will likely need a rehab assignment before joining the Braves playoff run in September, but it's positive news to hear them both recovering.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
