Left-hander Joey Wentz has also reported to the big league club. Riley was removed from Friday night's series opener in St. Louis with what at the time was labeled as lower abdominal tightness. Luke Williams pinch hit for him in the top of the fourth inning.

Riley went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the fourth inning. The severity of his injury remains unclear, but if he's forced to miss any amount of time, Luke Williams would be the favorite to pick up reps at the hot corner.

One weird part of this set of moves is that Nathan Wiles has been sent back to Gwinnett. Wiles was called up, presumably to provide some bulk given the blatant holes in Atlanta’s pitching staff, but is now going back down despite the bullpen covering six innings of work with a tightrope act last night.

Everything that happens in and around MLB has some additional context when viewed from a fantasy baseball perspective. From lineup changes to minor league call-ups to injuries and so much more, the news cycle will constantly affect player values in fantasy baseball.

After having one of the worst months of his career in June, Austin Riley has looked more like himself in June for the Atlanta Braves.
