Ozzie Albies Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies continued his resurgent 2026 season in Saturday's 4-3 win over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers at Truist Park, going 3-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, and three runs scored as the cleanup hitter. It was Albies' first multi-homer game of the year and the 11th of his career, and his second homer of the day (a two-run shot) walked the Brewers off the field. The 29-year-old switch-hitter came into Saturday's game with a .294 average (15-for-51) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI, nine runs scored, and a stolen base in 14 games in June, and he kept his hot streak going by clearing the fences twice in the team's one-run victory. Albies' two-homer game boosted his season average to .284, and he's added 12 home runs, 13 doubles, 40 RBI, and 50 runs scored in his 322 plate appearances. It looks like Albies is back to his All-Star form in 2026 after combining for 26 home runs in 2024 and 2025 after he had a career-high 33 long balls with Atlanta in 2023, his last All-Star campaign. Albies has been a must-start in all fantasy leagues in 2026.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies will bat in the three-hole for the Braves on Opening Day on Friday against the visiting Kansas City Royals and left-hander Cole Ragans at Truist Park, according to MLB.com. This is definitely notable after Albies only had seven of his 157 plate appearances in 2025 out of the No. 3 spot in the batting order. Overall, the three-time All-Star hit .240/.306/.365 with a career-worst .671 OPS, 16 home runs, 74 RBI, 74 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in 667 plate appearances over 157 games played. The 29-year-old switch-hitting second baseman was much better against lefties from the right side of the plate in 2025, going 49-for-177 (.277) against them, but with only four of his 16 total home runs. The Braves could have Albies hitting elsewhere against righties in 2026, but for now, he's in the heart of Atlanta's order on Opening Day as he looks to bounce back in his 10th year in the big leagues. Albies is hitless in just one career at-bat against Ragans.

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss may have second baseman Ozzie Albies run more frequently in 2026, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. He adds that Albies "seems capable" of stealing 20 bases for the first time since the 2021 season. The three-time All-Star hit .240/.306/.365 with a career-low .671 OPS, 16 home runs, 74 RBI, 74 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in 667 plate appearances and 157 games played for the Braves in 2025 in his ninth year in the big leagues. In general, the Braves are expected to be much more aggressive on the base paths in Weiss' first year as the skipper. Albies has two 30-homer campaigns on his ledger, but he's combined to hit just 26 long balls in the last two seasons. Despite the last two years of disappointing production, Albies profiles as a top-12 fantasy second baseman because he still has 20-20 potential at the keystone. In six Grapefruit League games this spring, Albies has gone 4-for-16 (.250) with no homers, four RBI, and three runs scored.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies has been a disappointment for fantasy managers each of the last two years. He played in only 99 games in 2024 due to injury, but Albies was even worse in 2025 despite playing in 157 contests. The 29-year-old switch-hitting infielder slashed .240/.306/.365 with a career-worst .671 OPS, 16 home runs, 74 RBI, 74 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in 667 plate appearances in his ninth year in the big leagues. It was one of Albies' worst seasons, and it ended on a sour note with a fractured hamate bone in his hand. There's reason for hope, though, as Albies reached the 30-homer mark in his previous two full seasons, and he should be fully recovered from his left-hand injury in time for Opening Day. Albies has dropped to No. 11 in RotoBaller's 2B rankings for 2026. Reasons to not be optimistic include his underwhelming hard-hit rate (30.7%), barrel rate (4.9%), and average exit velocity (87.5 mph) from last year.

Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said on 929 The Game on Tuesday that the team is picking up the $7 million club option on second baseman Ozzie Albies (hand), according to Mark Zinno. Albies will stick around in Atlanta for his 10th season in 2026 despite having his worst full-season offensive performances. The three-time All-Star hit just .240/.306/.365 with a career-low .671 OPS, 16 home runs, 74 RBI, 74 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in 157 games played. In addition to disappointing with the bat for his standards, Albies fractured his left hand late in the season. The 28-year-old switch-hitting second baseman will look to bounce back offensively and stay healthy for the entire year in 2026 as Atlanta looks to bounce back from an injury-plagued 2025 campaign as well. Albies has two seasons with 30-plus homers and 100-plus RBI, so the ceiling remains high.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) fractured his left hamate bone in Monday's 11-5 win over the Nationals, per MLB.com's Mark Bowman. He will miss the final five games of the season, and the hope is that he will be ready for the start of Spring Training. The 28-year-old fractured the same wrist in 2024, missing the final two months of that season. He will finish the season with a disappointing .240/.306/.365 slash line, 16 home runs, 74 RBI, and 14 stolen bases in 667 plate appearances. This injury will place question marks on Albies from a fantasy perspective for 2026, as he struggled in 2025 after a similar injury in 2024.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) exited early against the Washington Nationals on Monday with an apparent injury to his left wrist, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Albies appeared to suffer the injury while following through on a swing in the bottom of the third inning, leading the Braves to replace him with Nick Allen. Notably, Albies fractured his left wrist in July 2024 and missed around two months. The 28-year-old has stayed healthy this season, having played in all 157 of the Braves' games, but has hit a disappointing .240/.305/.364 with 16 homers, 74 RBI, 73 runs, and 14 steals in 665 plate appearances.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) struggled through the worst first half of his career this season. It may have stemmed from the fractured left wrist he suffered in July 2024, and it seems Albies has finally healed from that injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic writes. "I think something was happening (due to the wrist)," hitting coach Tim Hyers said in regards to Albies' dismal first half. The switch-hitting 28-year-old went into the mid-July All-Star break with an ugly .220/.290/.316 line in 95 games. Thanks to a resurgent couple of weeks, he's now batting an improved .232/.301/.348. Albies has swatted four of his 13 homers since Aug. 14, a 14-game span in which he has gone 18-for-59 (.305) with 16 RBI and 11 runs scored. The Braves will have to decide in the offseason whether to pick up Albies' $7 million option for 2026 or buy him out for $4 million. It should be an easy call if the three-time All-Star continues to produce over the final month of the season.

The Atlanta Braves are willing to listen to offers for second baseman Ozzie Albies, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. The Braves would be selling low on the three-time All-Star in what has been the worst season of his career. The switch-hitting Albies has batted a miserable .221/.296/.326 with nine homers, 40 RBI, 43 runs scored, and nine steals in 436 plate appearances. Albies has been especially poor versus lefties, who have held him to a toothless .218/.243/.264 line. Despite his unexpected woes this year, it seems likely Albies' employer (whether it's Atlanta or another team) will exercise his $7 million option for 2026 in the offseason. Otherwise, they'd have to pay the 28-year-old a $4 million buyout and would only save $3 million.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in his team's 9-3 win against the Philadelphia Phillies. He also walked and scored twice. The Phillies and Braves played a doubleheader on Thursday, and the teams split them, with Atlanta taking the second contest. Albies' lone hit in the outing left the yard and scored teammate Austin Riley in the top of the fourth inning. He'd also later knock in a run on a fielder's choice. The 28-year-old has been superb recently, notching at least one hit in 14 straight appearances with four multi-hit games in that span. Over the stretch, he's 18-for-52 (.346), and has been even better across the last eight games, notching all five of his extra-base hits in the hot streak.
