Austin Riley Moved to Cleanup Spot for Braves

Austin Riley continues to serve as a focal point of the Atlanta Braves' lineup. Riley played a key role in the team's recent offensive performance, contributing to a collective effort that secured a series win, matching the Braves' 21st series win of the 2025 campaign. For Monday's game against the Padres, Riley has been moved up to the cleanup spot and will start at third base as the offense looks to maintain its momentum.
