Nolan McLean gave the slumping Mets a boost with seven strong innings for his second career win, and New York beat the Atlanta Braves 12-7.

The Atlanta Braves announced that third baseman Austin Riley will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after undergoing core injury surgery.

Riley was placed on the injured list earlier this month for the second time in two months with a strained lower abdominal muscle. The two-time All-Star finishes the season hitting .260 with 16 homers and 54 RBIs in 102 games.

The typical recovery period for Riley's procedure is six weeks, but there are only five weeks left in the season.

As far as other outlets, MLB is nearing new national deals with NBC and Netflix to take over games being given up by ESPN beginning in the 2026 season, according to sources and multiple reports.

Major League Baseball, ESPN, and NBC have entered into a new media rights deal. While the exact semantics and details still need to be worked out, this represents a significant step in the right direction toward making baseball more accessible to fans across the country.

Braves vs. Mets will not air on traditional broadcast television. Instead, viewers can stream the game on Apple TV+, which is the exclusive home of "Friday Night Baseball" during the 2025 MLB season.
