Ozzie Albies's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) is now wearing a soft cast. There remains no definitive timetable on when Albies can begin swinging a bat, but he's at least been able to run and throw since fracturing his left wrist on July 21. Fantasy managers can probably find more impactful stashes on waiver wires, as the 27-year-old star infielder is unlikely to make it back to the Braves until late September, considering Albies is only about four weeks into an eight-week timeline for a full recovery. Veteran Whit Merrifield is slashing a serviceable .258/.380/.394 with two doubles, two triples, 14 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 66 at-bats (22 games) as Atlanta's interim primary second baseman, and he's worth a look in deep mixed and NL-only leagues while hitting near the top of the lineup.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) has been placed on the injured list after suffering a fractured left wrist during Sunday's game. The 27-year-old sustained the injury while sliding into second base while attempting to steal a base in the ninth inning. This is a crushing blow to an already banged up Braves roster. The organization said that Albies is set to miss eight weeks of action following the injury. Zack Short should see more chances at shortstop while Nelson Alvarez becomes an intruging call-up option for Atlanta. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues have a tough decision to make with Albies likely out until late September.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) is heading to the injured list according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Atlanta skipper Brian Snitker expressed after Sunday's game that the injury is 'not good' and that the star second baseman will hit the injured list. Albies appeared to have suffered this injury when attempting to prevent a stolen base in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old has held a disappointing .256/.308/.403 line with eight home runs and eight stolen bases across 90 games this season. While the extent of the injury is not known, fantasy managers should expect the second baseman to be out for a significant amount of time. While sidelined, Zach Short should see most of the opportunities at the keystone.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Phillies, homering for his second straight game and extending his hit streak to nine games. Over the nine-game stretch, the 27-year-old is 14-for-36 (.389) with three doubles, two home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base. For the season the 3x All-Star owns a .266-8-43-45-6 line with a .324 wOBA and 108 wRC+. At about the halfway point of the season, fantasy managers were surely hoping for more home runs, but Albies' 24 doubles is third-most in all of baseball. Perhaps he'll turn some of those into homers in the second half.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies brought in the only run on Monday in the 2-1 loss against the Seattle Mariners. Albies went 1-for-4, with his only hit being a double, but he also brought in the only run for Atlanta. The 27-year-old has provided production for a powerful Braves lineup this season, hitting .325 (26-for-80) in 19 games. He has nine doubles, two homers, 16 runs, 17 RBI, five walks, and 14 strikeouts. Albies returned from the 10-day injured list (fractured toe) four days ago and picked up where he left off for fantasy managers, remaining a consistent starter.
