Sat Mar 2318:58Ozzie Albies Blasts Solo Shot On Saturday
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies hit his second home run of spring training in a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. It was Albies only hit going 1-3 in the loss. He has had a subpar spring so far, slashing 220/.304/.743 with two home runs and five RBI. The Braves second baseman is still expected to be a very productive player in 2024. Albies set new career highs with 33 homers and 109 RBI. ATC is projecting Albies to slash .273/.327/.480 with 27 HR, 93 RBI, and 13 stolen bases over 643 plate appearances. With an ADP of 24, Albies is the top-rated fantasy second baseman and will look to build on his career 2023 campaign in 2024.

Fri Mar 111:10Slow Start For Ozzie Albies Continues Thursday
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 0-for-3 on Thursday in a 5-0 Grapefruit League win over the Minnesota Twins. Albies is now 0-for-7 in three spring games with two strikeouts. Hopefully the 3x All-Star is just shaking off the rust. As the No. 1 second baseman coming off draft boards, managers would like to see him get rolling before the regular season begins. Either way, 2023 showed us that the injuries that slowed him in 2022 were behind him and he will once again be at or near the top of the second baseman leaderboards in 2024 when it comes to home runs, RBI, runs scored, and batting average, plus he can steal double-digit bases.

Thu Aug 31 202319:06Ozzie Albies Starting On The Bench Thursday
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.

Mon Aug 28 202314:00Ozzie Albies Returns From Injured List
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.

Fri Aug 25 202322:33Ozzie Albies Unlikely To Return This Weekend
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.

Thu Aug 24 202317:07Ozzie Albies Still Day-To-Day
The Atlanta Braves are still calling second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) day-to-day and they have yet to decide if he'll be activated from the 10-day injured list for the weekend series on the road against the San Francisco Giants. Albies is eligible to return from the injured list on Friday for the first time since landing on the injured list on Aug. 15 with a left-hamstring strain. The 26-year-old switch-hitting slugger will return to being the team's regular second baseman when he's activated after clubbing 28 home runs, driving in 90 runs and stealing 11 bases in 457 at-bats before his injury while also hitting .267/.327/.514 with an .841 OPS. Until Albies is back, Nicky Lopez and Vaughn Grissom will continue to split playing time at the keystone.

Mon Aug 21 202321:14Ozzie Albies Unlikely To Need Rehab Games Before Activation
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is not expected to need to go on a rehab assignment, according to manager Brian Snitker. Albies tweaked his hamstring on August 13 and landed on the injured list but has made a fast recovery and could be ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup on Friday when he's first eligible to be reinstated. Albies is hitting .268 with 17 homers, 36 runs, 53 RBI, and three steals across 73 games in 2023.

Sat Aug 19 202300:50Ozzie Albies Does Some Light Drills On Friday
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) was seen jogging and doing lunging exercises ahead of Friday's game versus the San Francisco Giants. The 26-year-old was put on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a strained left hamstring after exiting Sunday's game with what was thought to be cramping at the time. Since he is already getting in some activity, it appears that Albies has a good chance of returning when first eligible next weekend. The three-time All-Star has been an elite fantasy option at second base in the high-octane Braves lineup this year, batting .267 (122-for-457) with 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases, and 75 runs scored.

Mon Aug 14 202323:05Braves Put Ozzie Albies On 10-Day Injured List
The Atlanta Braves placed second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Monday night with a left-hamstring strain, according to manager Brian Snitker. The Braves will most likely bring up infielder Vaughn Grissom from the minors to take Albies' spot on the active roster, and he'll share playing time at second base with utility man Nicky Lopez. Lopez filled in for Albies on Monday against the New York Yankees and has seven hits and eight RBI in his first two games for the Braves after being acquired in a trade with the Kansas City Royals on July 30. The 26-year-old Albies needs to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues. When healthy, he's a must-start fantasy option with 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 75 runs scored in 457 at-bats to go with a .267/.327/.514 slash line.

Mon Aug 14 202317:21Ozzie Albies To Go For More Testing
Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is still sore and will undergo further testing on his injured left hamstring. Albies is out of the starting lineup on Monday against the visiting New York Yankees after leaving Sunday's game against the New York Mets early with a mild hamstring cramp. The 26-year-old could be forced to the injured list if his tests show more than just a mild hamstring cramp, so fantasy managers should prepare for that possibility. Nicky Lopez is getting the start at the keystone for the Braves on Monday. When healthy, Albies is a must-start in fantasy lineups, as he's currently hitting .267/.327/.514 with an .841 OPS, 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 75 runs scored in 457 at-bats in 2023. He's just two homers shy of tying his career-high set in 2021.

Sun Aug 13 202323:01Ozzie Albies Forced From Sunday's Game With Cramping
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) was pulled from Sunday's game against the New York Mets as a precaution after experiencing left-hamstring cramping. The 26-year-old grounded out to lead off the eighth inning but wasn't running at full speed and got replaced defensively in the following frame for Nicky Lopez. Albies went 0-for-3 with a walk before leaving, seeing his 12-game hitting streak come to an end. Fantasy managers should deem the three-time All-Star day-to-day ahead of a three-game series with the New York Yankees starting on Monday. Albies doesn't appear to be facing any kind of extended absence, but he may be at risk of missing his first game of the season. In August, the fantasy superstar is hitting .345 (20-for-58) with four home runs, 16 RBI, and four stolen bases.

Sat Aug 5 202317:50Ozzie Albies Goes Deep And Swipes A Bag On Saturday
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk, a stolen base, and a strikeout in an 8-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Albies pulled the Braves to within three runs in the top of the third inning when he took starter Javier Assad deep for his 25th long ball of the season. He reached base again with a walk and swiped his eighth bag of the season well. Coming off an injury-plagued 2022 campaign, Albies has bounced back with a force this season. The 26-year-old is slashing .257/.317/.505 with 25 home runs, 77 RBI, and eight stolen bases over 416 at-bats on the year. He's just five home runs away from matching his career-high of 30, which was set back in 2021.

Thu Jul 13 202321:28Ozzie Albies Seeks To Stay Hot In Return To Play
The Atlanta Braves and second baseman Ozzie Albies commence their season's second half on Friday for a three-game set with the Chicago White Sox. The 26-year-old was raking before the break, batting a robust .295 with a .970 OPS, 11 home runs, 27 RBI, and five stolen bases over his last 31 games (122 at-bats). The surge helped Albies notch his third career All-Star selection. The switch-hitter sets up against right-handed pitchers Michael Kopech on Friday, Lance Lynn on Saturday, and Dylan Cease on Sunday. Albies carries inferior platoon splits versus righties, but he should still be confidently deployed across all formats this weekend as part of the high-flying Braves offense.

He's been especially hot at the plate of late, hitting .296 with four homers over his past seven games.

Sun Jun 25 202302:21Ozzie Albies Goes Deep In Saturday's Win
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base, and two runs scored in a 7-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. Albies took Reds starter Graham Ashcraft deep to right field with a solo shot in the top of the third inning for his 18th home run of the season. He would tack on a single, a stolen base, and a run scored in the top of the fourth inning as well. The dynamic 26-year-old is putting together a phenomenal season in Atlanta, slashing .270/.322/.509 with 18 home runs, 54 RBI, and five stolen bases across 293 at-bats.

Fri Jun 16 202314:55Ozzie Albies Remains In Two-Hole
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies was shifted up to the two-hole in the batting order for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 26-year-old went 3-for-4 with a three-run double off left-hander Kyle Freeland. The assumption was that Albies was moved into the two-hole because a lefty was on the mound. However, Albies will remain in that spot in the order versus right-hander Dinelson Lamet on Friday. It's uncertain if this is going to be a long term thing, but it should help Albies fantasy value for the time being.

Fri Jun 16 202312:10Ozzie Albies To Remain In Two-Hole Friday
Even with the Colorado Rockies starting right-hander Dinelson Lamet on Friday, Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker is planning to keep second baseman Ozzie Albies in the second spot in the batting order. Out of the two-hole on Thursday, Alvies went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI. Before Thursday's game, first baseman Matt Olson had been occupying the two-spot all year, but the 29-year-old left-handed slugger has hit .226 (12-for-53) in the month of June. Until further notice, Albies may be in the two-hole with Olson down at No. 5. Albies has hit .326 (15-for-46) with two doubles, four home runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases in 13 games in the month of June.

Thu Jun 15 202318:47Ozzie Albies Moves Up To The Two-Hole On Thursday
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is batting second for the first time this season against southpaw Kyle Freeland and the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. The 26-year-old has only started one game out of the two-hole since last year. Albies is hitting just .218 (31-for-142) with four homers, 21 RBI, and zero stolen bases while batting second since 2020. That caveat is not nearly enough to dislodge the two-time Silver Slugger from fantasy lineups. Albies is slashing .333/.419/.694 with four big flies and eight RBI over his last 43 plate appearances. The two-time All-Star is victimizing southpaws for a .394 BA with a mighty 1.121 OPS over 71 at-bats this year. Consider Albies one of the top fantasy plays at the keystone across all settings on Thursday.

Thu May 25 202315:08Ozzie Albies Walks It Off, Goes Hitless
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies brought in the winning run on a sacrifice fly in Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite the walk-off, Albies has gone hitless in four of his last five games. Albies is slashing .254/.299/.476, which is close to his career averages, so there's no cause for concern. He remains a very productive player, as he is in the top five in both home runs and RBI among second basemen. Albies has a tough few days ahead of him while facing the Phillies rotation, but after that series, the Braves face the Oakland Athletics. Fantasy managers should be excited because Albies could feast on the left-handers in the A's rotation.

Thu Apr 27 202312:00Ozzie Albies Hitting Cleanup Against Lefty
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is starting at second base and getting the nod in the team's cleanup spot on Thursday against the Miami Marlins and left-hander Braxton Garrett. Albies is hitting .268 (26-for-97) on the year so far with two doubles, a triple, seven home runs, a league-leading 23 RBI and 12 runs scored in 25 games played. He's also gone 13-for-32 (.406) with three home runs and 10 RBI against southpaw pitchers, so it makes perfect sense why the Braves are putting him in the cleanup spot on Thursday against a left-hander. Albies is hitting .381 (8-for-21) with a double, triple, three homers and nine RBI in the last week. Keep him in your starting lineups everywhere.
