Missing another start Riley (side) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

Impact He'll remain on the bench for a 10th consecutive game while he continues to heal up from a left intercostal strain. Atlanta had initially viewed Riley as day-to-day when he departed an April 12 game against the Mets with the injury, but the club likely would have placed him on the 10-day injured list had they known the issue would have kept him out for more than a week. Riley was able to exhibit a sign of progress by taking swings on the field Tuesday, but it's not clear if he'll be on track to rejoin the starting nine during this weekend's three-game series in Pittsburgh.

Sitting again Wednesday Riley (side) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Though Riley took a step forward in his recovery from a left side strain by taking swings Tuesday, he'll remain on the bench for the ninth game in a row Wednesday. Provided he didn't experience any setbacks from Tuesday's activity and is continuing to show daily improvement, Riley still looks like he'll avoid the injured list, and his return to the lineup could happen any day.

Remains out of lineup Riley (intercostal) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs.

Impact Riley hasn't played since May 12 because of left intercostal inflammation. Atlanta has resisted putting their third baseman on the 10-day injured list so far and at this point it would appear they will continue to wait things out. Zack Short will again be at the hot corner Tuesday.

Remains out Tuesday Riley (side) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Atlanta received good news when an MRI revealed merely inflammation in Riley's left side rather than a strain. However, he is likely still sore and will miss a second straight start. With a scheduled off day coming Thursday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Atlanta hold Riley out until Friday just to be safe. Zack Short is getting another start at third base Tuesday.
