JUST IN: Braves Key Player Shockingly Confirms Long-Term Absence Due to Fractured Foot

Atlanta, dealing with three players sidelined by fractures – including Ozzie Albies’ fractured wrist and Austin Riley’s current absence – may be limited to using Whit Merrifield at third base, as his foot fracture could prevent him from playing in the outfield.

This could potentially push Riley’s replacement, Gio Urshela, to the bench, although Urshela has significant MLB experience as a shortstop.
