Austin Riley’s injury shows no fractures, returning soon

Atlanta Braves' Austin Riley was hit on the right hand by a fastball during a game against the Washington Nationals. Tests showed no fractures, easing concerns after his previous hand injury last season. He may return to play soon. Catcher Sean Murphy is expected to miss the start of the season due to a cracked rib. Outfielder Jurickson Profar also faced an injury scare but has been cleared for play before Opening Day. Riley's injury raised alarms due to his history, but the latest tests confirmed he avoided serious damage. The Braves will continue to monitor his recovery.
