Albies (elbow) is set to be examined by team doctors in the coming days and could be cleared to play next week, David O'Brien of the AJC reports.

The Braves' prized prospect has been rehabbing from elbow surgery for the first few weeks of spring training, but it appears he could be nearing a return given that he'll be reevaluated in the near future with the possibility of being cleared shortly after the weekend. Still, his absence from the early portion of workouts and games coupled with Atlanta's recent acquisition of Brandon Phillips suggest that Albies is likely destined to start the season at Triple-A Gwinnett.
