Braves Receive Exciting Austin Riley Update Before Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. All-Star third baseman Austin Riley is in his seventh season as a member of the Atlanta Braves. Riley was selected by the Braves in the first round of the 2015 MLB Draft and debuted on their major-league roster during the 2019 regular season.

Ozzie Albies hit a three-run homer, Ronald Acuña Jr. made a spectacular throw and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Yankees 7-3 on Friday night as both teams resumed action after the All-Star break.

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Atlanta Braves third base coach Eddie Perez got into a shouting match during their game on Saturday night.

On a day when the Yankees had little available in the way of relief, Marcus Stroman provided it in his best start of the season.

Aaron Judge hit his 36th home run of the season and tied Alex Rodriguez for sixth place in Yankees history as New York defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-2.

Eddie Pérez was upset that Chisholm was relaying signs from second base while shortstop Anthony Volpe was hitting in the sixth inning.

Pinch-hitter Giancarlo Stanton delivered a two-run double and Bellinger added an RBI single that made it 7-3. But Judge extinguished the rally when he struck out against lefty Dylan Lee with runners on the corners.

In this MLB mock trade scenario, the Atlanta Braves send Ozzie Albies and Raisel Iglesias to the Seattle Mariners for top prospects, signaling a potential shift toward a rebuild amid a disastrous 2025 season.
