Braves' Ozzie Albies: Confirmed to return Friday
Ozzie Albies (wrist) will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game in Miami, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.Things were pointing in that direction, but Atlanta presumably wanted to wait to see how he bounced back from a couple rehab games with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday and Wednesday before officially clearing him to return to the active roster. The switch-hitting Albies will bat exclusively from the right side upon his return, at least initially, due to continued discomfort in his fractured left hand when swinging from the left side.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Aiming to return this weekend
Ozzie Albies (wrist) could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday and return from the 10-day injured list for Atlanta's series in Miami this weekend, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.At last check, Albies was still struggling to swing the bat from the left side of the plate due to soreness in his fractured left wrist. It's not clear whether the switch hitter has progressed in that regard or is considering returning only as a right-handed hitter. Albies will be the everyday second baseman when he returns, pushing Whit Merrifield to third base, left field or a bench role.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Return this season uncertain
Manager Brian Snitker said Friday that he's not sure if Ozzie Albies (wrist) will play again in 2024, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.Albies fractured his left wrist in late July and has been on the shelf since. His rehab hasn't progressed as quickly as Atlanta hoped, and he's specifically struggled to swing a bat from the left side. Snitker said the team hasn't seriously considered using Albies exclusively from the right side of the plate, but that may be his only path back to the lineup in 2024. Whit Merrifield has been holding down second base in place of Albies.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Set for extended absence
Atlanta announced that Ozzie Albies is expected to miss approximately eight weeks after he underwent X-rays following Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cardinals that revealed a left wrist fracture.Albies suffered the injury while attempting to apply a tag on a stolen-base attempt in the ninth inning of Sunday's game. He'll now be forced to miss approximately two months of action, making him a cut candidate in most redraft leagues and leaving a major hole in the middle infield for Atlanta. The team is expected to call up Nacho Alvarez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, and the latter will replace Albies on the major-league roster -- and potentially as the club's everyday second baseman -- once Albies is officially placed on the injured list.
