COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Austin Riley’s 2024 season is officially over.

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker announced Tuesday that Riley, who fractured his right hand a month ago, won’t return this season even if the Braves earn a National League wild card spot.

Snitker said CT scans showed that Riley’s hand wasn’t healing enough.

The Braves begin a crucial series Tuesday night against their rivals the New York Mets with a spot in the playoffs on the line.
