Ozzie Albies is not in the Braves’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s tilt against the Marlins.

There haven’t been any indications that Albies is dealing with any sort of injury, so it looks to be just a breather for the 29-year-old infielder. Mauricio Dubon will cover second base in his absence and will bat fifth against Marlins’ righty Janson Junk.

Ozzie Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Orioles on Saturday.

Albies’ home run was his 17th of the season. He hit a game-tying solo home run in the eighth inning off Rico Garcia. The home run gave the Braves life momentarily before the Orioles had a walk-off win in the bottom of the ninth inning. Albies has hit two home runs in his last three games. He’s hitting .264 with a .755 OPS and 57 RBI.

Ozzie Albies went 0-for-5 and struck out three times Tuesday against the Padres.

Albies isn’t exactly struggling this month, but he has fanned 21 times in just 17 games, which is incredibly unusual. In fact, it’s the most times he’s struck out in a month since Sept. 2021. He struck out just nine times in 23 games in June. Of course, Albies really hasn’t been hot at any point since April; he’s batting .234/.289/.381 since May 1.

Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against the Padres on Monday.

Albies’ home run was his 15th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Wandy Peralta in the sixth inning. Albies was just 2-for-13 with a run scored and two RBI in the last three games entering play Monday. He’s hitting .266 with a .755 OPS and 54 RBI.

Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with a home run, double, two RBI, and two runs scored on Wednesday against the Cardinals.

The Braves only mustered three hits and two runs off Cardinals’ starter Michael McGreevy, and Albies was responsible for both runs and two of the three hits. He’s had a tremendous bounce back season thus far with 13 home runs and a .769 OPS as we approach the All-Star Break.
Ozzie Albies

ATL 2nd Baseman #1

Ozzie Albies went 3-for-4 with two homers, three runs scored, and three RBI to lead the Braves to a 4-3 win over the Brewers on Saturday.

The Braves had been held without a hit through four innings until Albies took Kyle Harrison deep for a solo homer to lead off the fifth. He added a base hit and scored a run in the seventh, then came through in a big spot in the ninth. With a runner on and trailing by one run, he slugged a two-run homer off Aaron Ashby to walk it off for Atlanta. The 29-year-old second baseman is hitting .284/.335/.453 with 12 homers, 50 runs scored, and 40 RBI across 322 plate appearances.

Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Albies broke this game wide open with his three-run home run in the seventh inning after it sat still at 4-2 from the third inning on. That was his 10th home run of the season – only six shy of his mark from last year – to go along with a .283 batting average and .791 OPS in what’s been a resurgent season for the second baseman.

ATL 2nd Baseman #1

Ozzie Albies had a strong day at the dish in Thursday’s lopsided victory over the Red Sox, going 3-for-5 with a homer, double, two runs scored and two RBI.

Albies smacked a double off of Payton Tolle in the fourth inning and came around to score on a two-out RBI single off the bat of Dominic Smith. He then capped off the scoring in the ballgame with a 416-foot (104.4 mph EV) two-run blast off of Ryan Watson in the ninth inning. With the three-hit attack, Albies is now slashing a solid .276/.333/.439 to go along with nine homers and 29 RBI on the season.

ATL 2nd Baseman #1

Ozzie Albies picked up three singles and scored a run as the Braves fell to the Nationals 2-1 on Sunday.

Albies has been the team’s everyday cleanup hitter this week following the return of Ronald Acuña Jr. The second baseman has one of the highest wRC+ marks of his career, though he finishes the afternoon just 14 percent better than league average. It’s still a bounceback from the past two years. The only flaw in his roto profile this year is that he hasn’t yet stolen a base and has been caught three times.
Austin Riley

ATL 3rd Baseman #27

After going 0-for-8 the last two days, Austin Riley has been dropped to seventh in the Braves lineup for Wednesday’s game.

Walt Weiss sure does love to tinker. He also has Michael Harris II batting second for the first time tonight. Ozzie Albies is in the cleanup spot. Riley is back down to .211/.279/.368 for the season after the last two games. He’s hit .250 with four homers and 11 RBI in 17 games this month, but that has come with a poor 22/2 K/BB.

Tigers promoted C/1B Josue Briceño to Triple-A Toledo.

Briceño is the 54th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. He hit .297/.382/.672 in 17 games at Double-A after being activated from the 60-day IL in July following wrist surgery. Briceño also tallied eight home runs, 19 RBI, and a 16/9 K/BB ratio. He’ll likely need to play first base long-term in Detroit with Dillon Dingler entrenched as the team’s franchise catcher.

Brewers promoted 1B prospect Blake Burke to Triple-A Nashville.

Burke slashed .285/.367/.603 in 96 games with Double-A Biloxi. He posted 30 home runs, 88 RBI, and 28 steals but also had a 102/44 K/BB ratio. The Brewers’ offense rarely has a hitter with this type of power and swing-and-miss, so it will be interesting to see how Burke fits as he rises up the affiliates.

Mets INF prospect Billy Amick went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday.

Amick came to the Mets in a deadline deal for A.J. Minter and has been on fire since. In his seven games in the Mets organization, he’s hitting .333/.429/.958 with five home runs, 13 RBI, and one steal. He does have 11 strikeouts in those seven games, so swing-and-miss will always be part of his game, but he has 28 home runs in 93 total games at Triple-A this season, so the power is very real.

Christian Moore went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, and an RBI for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Moore is hitting .307/.434/.517 in 78 games at Triple-A with 10 home runs, 56 RBI, and 13 steals with an 84/65 K/BB ratio. With the Angels out of playoff contention, it would make sense for them to call Moore up again and give him an actual chance at playing time.

Zac Veen went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs for Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Veen is now hitting .455/.514/1.121 in eight games in August with five home runs, 12 RBI, 13 runs, and two steals. Unfortunately, with Mickey Moniak, Cole Carrigg, and Jake McCarthy in Colorado, there is no room for Veen.

Nationals SS prospect Seaver King went 3-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

King is hitting .284/.361/.469 in 41 games at Triple-A with seven home runs, 29 RBI, and four steals. With CJ Abrams continuing to struggle defensively at shortstop, it’s fair to wonder if the Nationals would consider a position change in the offseason to ensure a place for King in the 2027 lineup.

Oneil Cruz (hand) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Cruz played seven innings in center field on Sunday and will now be evaluated by the Pirates. His results haven’t been great in Triple-A, but if the organization deems that he’s healthy enough to return, we could see Cruz back in the lineup this week.

Kristian Campbell went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, and two runs scored for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Since the start of July, Campbell is now 29-for-84 (.345) with three home runs, 16 RBI, 20 runs, three steals, and a 24/17 K/BB ratio. Still just 24 years old, Campbell could very well emerge as an impactful regular with the Red Sox if his recent swing changes continue to produce results like this.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Carlos Rodón will have “at least one more Minor League rehab start before being activated.”

Rodón allowed three runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. His velocity was down across the board in this one, so he will need to make some progress if he wants his next rehab start to be his last one.
