Ozzie Albies News
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (toe) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday after he needed only the 10 days to recover from a fractured right big toe. Albies will be back in Atlanta's starting lineup on Friday for the series finale against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Logan Allen, and fantasy managers will want to get him back into all starting lineup this weekend. The 27-year-old switch-hitter was hitting a strong .317/.386/.492 with two home runs and two stolen bases in 15 games played before injuring his toe and remains one of the better fantasy second baseman in a potent Braves lineup. Luis Guillorme and David Fletcher were splitting time at the keystone with Albies out. Fletcher was sent to the minors on Thursday.
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (toe) ran the bases as part of his workout on Wednesday. He appears to still be moving around well and is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list on Friday. Albies is recovering from a fractured right big toe that he suffered on April 16 and continues to make good progress. There's a chance the 27-year-old is activated when eligible on Friday to rejoin the lineup for the start of a series against the Cleveland Guardians without going on a minor-league rehab assignment. Albies has already been fielding ground balls and swinging a bat. Luis Guillorme and David Fletcher have been splitting time at the keystone for the Braves with Albies out. Fantasy managers will want to get Albies back into their starting lineups right away if he returns this weekend, as he was hitting .317 (20-for-63) with two homers, 14 RBI and two steals before his injury.
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (toe) started hitting on Monday and could still return from the injured list on Friday when he's eligible to come off the 10-day injured list. Albies has progress quickly from his fractured big toe, which has to music to his fantasy managers' ears. The 27-year-old shouldn't be available on the waiver wire in any fantasy leagues despite his injury, which came when he was hit by a pitch last week. With Albies out, Luis Guillorme and David Fletcher have both seen playing time at the keystone in Atlanta. The switch-hitting Albies had gone 20-for-63 (.317) with two home runs, 14 RBI and two stolen bases at the time of his injury, so hopefully he can pick up where he left off when he's back. Albies is a must-start on the daily when he's in Atlanta's lineup.

After an injury-riddled 2022, where he missed 68 games with foot and hand injuries, you wanted to see Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies bounce back in 2023, and he did- in a big way. Last season, he was among the league leaders for second basemen in home runs (2nd), RBI (1st), and runs (4th). He also set a career-high in wRC+ (124). Fantasy managers would like to see more than 13 SB from Albies (by comparison, a slower Freddie Freeman stole 23). Still, unfortunately, it appears Albies has lost a step (88th percentile speed in 2017, down to 54th percentile in 2023). Moreover, with Matt Olson (54 HR) and Austin Riley (37 HR) hitting behind him in the lineup, he may not take the chance of getting thrown out on a steal, so managers hoping for an uptick may be disappointed. Nevertheless, with his multi-category production, he's currently ranked as the No. 1 second baseman option at RotoBaller and ranked 21st overall, slightly ahead of his current ADP of 24. When looking at the counting stats, you're splitting hairs between Albies and the next-best 2B option (Marcus Semien, 24th overall), but when all else is essentially the same, go with the younger player. Semien will be 33 in the 2024 season, while Albies will be 27.
