Ozzie Albies Starting On The Bench Thursday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is missing from Thursday's lineup for the series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nicky Lopez will step in at the keystone and hit ninth while Michael Harris II moves up to the two-hole for this one. It looks to be a simple day of maintenance for the 26-year-old Albies after a comeback from a left hamstring strain earlier this week. Expect the fantasy superstar to return to his usual spot in the lineup for Friday's action versus Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias. Albies is destroying left-handed pitching in 2023, hitting .388 (40-for-103) with five homers, seven doubles, and 18 RBI.

Braves Promote Darius Vines, Activate Ozzie Albies

The Braves announced a handful of roster moves Monday, optioning infielder Vaughn Grissom and lefty Jared Shuster to Triple-A Gwinnett while recalling righty Darius Vines for his MLB debut and reinstating second baseman Ozzie Albies from the injured list. Vines, 25, was Atlanta’s seventh-round pick back in 2019 and has pitched well across three minor…

Ozzie Albies Returns From Injured List

The Atlanta Braves reinstated second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder Vaughn Grissom to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. Albies should be back in Monday's lineup against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, but fantasy managers will want to check back later for confirmation. The 26-year-old All-Star second baseman is returning after two weeks on the sidelines with a strained left hamstring. He could need to shake off a little rust after not going on a minor-league rehab assignment, but fantasy managers will surely be happy to have him back. In 457 at-bats in 2023, Albies has a .267/.327/.514 slash line with an .841 OPS, 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 75 runs scored.

Ozzie Albies Unlikely To Return This Weekend

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is in San Francisco with the team and is progressing, but manager Brian Snitker said Albies returning this weekend against the Giants is unlikely to happen. The 26-year-old was eligible to return from the injured list on Friday after being sidelined with a left-hamstring strain, but the Braves are going to hold off on activating him until next week. Until Albies returns, Nicky Lopez and Vaughn Grissom will continue to split playing time at the keystone. Albies is a must-start fantasy asset for the first-place Braves when he's active. He'll be returning to a .267/.327/.514 slash line with an .841 OPS, 28 home runs, 21 doubles, four triples, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 75 runs scored in 117 games. Fantasy managers shouldn't be without the three-time All-Star for much longer.

Ozzie Albies Still Day-To-Day

The Atlanta Braves are still calling second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) day-to-day and they have yet to decide if he'll be activated from the 10-day injured list for the weekend series on the road against the San Francisco Giants. Albies is eligible to return from the injured list on Friday for the first time since landing on the injured list on Aug. 15 with a left-hamstring strain. The 26-year-old switch-hitting slugger will return to being the team's regular second baseman when he's activated after clubbing 28 home runs, driving in 90 runs and stealing 11 bases in 457 at-bats before his injury while also hitting .267/.327/.514 with an .841 OPS. Until Albies is back, Nicky Lopez and Vaughn Grissom will continue to split playing time at the keystone.

Ozzie Albies Unlikely To Need Rehab Games Before Activation

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is not expected to need to go on a rehab assignment, according to manager Brian Snitker. Albies tweaked his hamstring on August 13 and landed on the injured list but has made a fast recovery and could be ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup on Friday when he's first eligible to be reinstated. Albies is hitting .268 with 17 homers, 36 runs, 53 RBI, and three steals across 73 games in 2023.

Ozzie Albies Does Some Light Drills On Friday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) was seen jogging and doing lunging exercises ahead of Friday's game versus the San Francisco Giants. The 26-year-old was put on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a strained left hamstring after exiting Sunday's game with what was thought to be cramping at the time. Since he is already getting in some activity, it appears that Albies has a good chance of returning when first eligible next weekend. The three-time All-Star has been an elite fantasy option at second base in the high-octane Braves lineup this year, batting .267 (122-for-457) with 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases, and 75 runs scored.

Braves Put Ozzie Albies On 10-Day Injured List

The Atlanta Braves placed second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Monday night with a left-hamstring strain, according to manager Brian Snitker. The Braves will most likely bring up infielder Vaughn Grissom from the minors to take Albies' spot on the active roster, and he'll share playing time at second base with utility man Nicky Lopez. Lopez filled in for Albies on Monday against the New York Yankees and has seven hits and eight RBI in his first two games for the Braves after being acquired in a trade with the Kansas City Royals on July 30. The 26-year-old Albies needs to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues. When healthy, he's a must-start fantasy option with 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 75 runs scored in 457 at-bats to go with a .267/.327/.514 slash line.

Ozzie Albies To Go For More Testing

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is still sore and will undergo further testing on his injured left hamstring. Albies is out of the starting lineup on Monday against the visiting New York Yankees after leaving Sunday's game against the New York Mets early with a mild hamstring cramp. The 26-year-old could be forced to the injured list if his tests show more than just a mild hamstring cramp, so fantasy managers should prepare for that possibility. Nicky Lopez is getting the start at the keystone for the Braves on Monday. When healthy, Albies is a must-start in fantasy lineups, as he's currently hitting .267/.327/.514 with an .841 OPS, 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 75 runs scored in 457 at-bats in 2023. He's just two homers shy of tying his career-high set in 2021.

Ozzie Albies Forced From Sunday's Game With Cramping

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) was pulled from Sunday's game against the New York Mets as a precaution after experiencing left-hamstring cramping. The 26-year-old grounded out to lead off the eighth inning but wasn't running at full speed and got replaced defensively in the following frame for Nicky Lopez. Albies went 0-for-3 with a walk before leaving, seeing his 12-game hitting streak come to an end. Fantasy managers should deem the three-time All-Star day-to-day ahead of a three-game series with the New York Yankees starting on Monday. Albies doesn't appear to be facing any kind of extended absence, but he may be at risk of missing his first game of the season. In August, the fantasy superstar is hitting .345 (20-for-58) with four home runs, 16 RBI, and four stolen bases.

Ozzie Albies Goes Deep And Swipes A Bag On Saturday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk, a stolen base, and a strikeout in an 8-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Albies pulled the Braves to within three runs in the top of the third inning when he took starter Javier Assad deep for his 25th long ball of the season. He reached base again with a walk and swiped his eighth bag of the season well. Coming off an injury-plagued 2022 campaign, Albies has bounced back with a force this season. The 26-year-old is slashing .257/.317/.505 with 25 home runs, 77 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 416 at-bats on the year. He's just five home runs away from matching his career-high of 30, which was set back in 2021.

Ozzie Albies Seeks To Stay Hot In Return To Play

The Atlanta Braves and second baseman Ozzie Albies commence their season's second half on Friday for a three-game set with the Chicago White Sox. The 26-year-old was raking before the break, batting a robust .295 with a .970 OPS, 11 home runs, 27 RBI, and five stolen bases over his last 31 games (122 at-bats). The surge helped Albies notch his third career All-Star selection. The switch-hitter sets up against right-handed pitchers Michael Kopech on Friday, Lance Lynn on Saturday, and Dylan Cease on Sunday. Albies carries inferior platoon splits versus righties, but he should still be confidently deployed across all formats this weekend as part of the high-flying Braves offense.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 2-for-5 with a run scored in an 8-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old infielder is putting together another excellent season, slashing .266/.319/.523 with 22 homers, 47 runs, 63 RBI, and six steals across 331 at-bats. He's been especially hot at the plate of late, hitting .296 with four homers over his past seven games.
