- During the rain-delayed MLB Speedway Classic, Riley re-aggravated his strained lower abdominal muscle while tagging out Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz near home plate on Sunday.
- To fill his roster spot, Atlanta recalled infielders Nacho Alvarez Jr. and Jonathan Ornelas, and optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic, as Snitker said they erred on the side of caution.
