Ozzie Albies News
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.
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.
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.

After a monstrous 2021 season, last year was something of a lost campaign for Albies following foot and finger injuries that limited him to just 64 games. He is set to be a full go for Spring Training and the Braves will be hoping Albies can replicate his 2021 season when he hit .259/.310/.488 with 30 homers, 106 RBI, 103 runs and 20 steals. He was one of only three players to be in the 30/20 club with 100+ RBI and runs (along with Jose Ramirez and Shohei Ohtani). In limited time last year, Albies still had eight homers, 35 RBI, 36 runs and three stolen bases and with an ADP ~47, fantasy managers seem to be concerned of more missed time in 2023. It's easy to forget Albies is still only going to be 26 years old on Opening Day given this will be his seventh season in the Majors and he's played at least 156 games in three of the last five seasons (missing half of the shortened 2020 season with a wrist injury). Albies is set to have a bounceback year and could easily find himself as the number one second baseman in fantasy by the end of 2023.
