    The Braves' Michael Harris II had the most appropriate reaction to news of Austin Riley's fractured hand

    Every team across baseball has to overcome injuries. That’s the reality of a 162-game season. But you’re not going to find a more nightmarish injury situation than what the Braves have been dealing with this season.

    And somehow, it just got worse.

    Braves third baseman Austin Riley was removed from Sunday’s game in the first inning after taking a 97 mph fastball off the right hand. The initial X-ray came back inconclusive, but on Monday, the team announced that an MRI revealed a fractured right hand for the Braves third baseman. The injury, which would sideline Riley for six to eight weeks, could not have happened at a worse time for the Braves.

    Michael Harris II certainly felt that way.

    The Braves center fielder — who recently returned from a two-month IL stint — took to Twitter/X with a spot-on reaction. Just when the Braves have looked to get healthy or have a big win, an ill-timed injury sets them back. Spencer Strider, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies are all injured along with Riley. Newly acquired Jorge Soler is also dealing with a hamstring strain.

    It’s been that kind of season for Atlanta, and Braves fans related to that tweet from Harris.

    This was how Twitter/X reacted
