Albies hit leadoff and went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

He didn't miss a beat in his first game action since fracturing his elbow in the Southern League playoffs last year, lashing a single up the middle, scoring from first on a double and turning a nifty unassisted double play in the field. Albies will begin the season with Triple-A Gwinnett and could spend most or all of the campaign in the minors following the Braves' acquisition of Brandon Phillips, but the 20-year-old should be Dansby Swanson's middle infield partner in the majors by 2018.
