Riley will receive a couple starts per week in the outfield going forward at Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Riley received the first of said starts Wednesday, though he also made a start in the outfield during spring training. The increased versatility will help the 22-year-old reach the majors should the Braves run into any injury issues. Riley is slashing .300/.373/.633 with 10 home runs for the Stripers, but Josh Donaldson is currently blocking the 22-year-old's path to the majors at third base.
