Albies is headed back to Double-A Mississippi to play second base next to Dansby Swanson, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.

The Braves will finally let their prized middle infield duo of the future play next to each other, but instead of promoting Swanson to Triple-A, they will send Albies back down to a level he recently dominated. Albies had been playing second base recently at Triple-A, and he will stick at the keystone with Mississippi, so that can safely be regarded as his position of the future -- as long as he remains with the Braves. The duo should spend most of 2017 turning double plays at the big league level.
