In what has been a well-below average season for the Braves, it got worse Thursday when it was announced that Austin Riley would miss the rest of the season.

Riley, who was placed on the 10-day injured list for the second time in two months on Aug. 4 with a strained lower abdominal muscle, is expected to return in time for spring training next year.

Riley was placed on the injured list earlier this month for the second time in two months with a strained lower abdominal muscle. The two-time All-Star finishes the season hitting .260 with 16 homers and 54 RBIs in 102 games.
