Riley has struggled in a big way this season.
Before Tuesday’s game, Jeff Francoeur spoke about Riley (via 680 The Fan).
Francoeur: “I think the hard thing, right, is everybody in that clubhouse loves that dude. From the training staff to, you know, to the players to anybody. And so I think the hard thing is, right, you’re pulling so hard for him to figure it out. They’ve tried giving him a few days off… And that didn’t really work. So you keep running him out there hoping something clicks.”
