Will the Braves curtail Austin Riley’s playing time?

To the extent that the Braves are legitimately concerned about their offense, doing something about Riley's playing time is a perhaps-sour, but nonetheless lower-hanging fruit than a bunch of other things they could try.
Riley went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the day game yesterday, and 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a hit-by-pitch in the nightcap.
In some ways, that's better than taking strikes and swinging at balls, but the swings haven't exactly been on target.
So, will the Braves take some sort of action to shore up their lineup given all of this?
Or is ride-or-die with Riley, figuring that if they survived 430-plus PAs with him not producing, what's 200 more?
