Washington catcher Kurt Suzuki might not miss extended time after an MRI on his right elbow revealed no serious injury.Suzuki has inflammation and still feels tingling in his arm after an awkward throw to second base. He was a seventh-inning defensive replacement Saturday and got injured in an unsuccessful attempt to catch Atlanta's Rafael Ortega stealing. He left before the top of the eighth."I felt something in my elbow," Suzuki said Sunday. "Some tingling and zings. A little sore today, but should be good."Either Suzuki or Yan Gomes has started every game at catcher for the NL wild-card leading Nationals. Raudy Read took Suzuki's spot on Saturday and moves into the No. 2 role.Suzuki, 36, is in the first season of a $10 million, two-year contract. He is hitting .260 with 16 homers and 58 RBIs in his second stint with the Nationals. Washington selected the contract of catcher Tres Barrera from Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Not so much.Riley, the slugging rookie for the Atlanta Braves, will not need surgery on his injured right knee and expects to return to the lineup in about two weeks.He revealed the good news before the NL East leaders opened a three-game series against the New York Mets on Tuesday.

He went on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 24 and still is not sure when he'll be able to return."It's kind of a frustrating injury," Swanson said. "Obviously, it's kind of impossible to avoid it because you've got to walk and put pressure on it all... [More]
