Braves' Ozzie Albies: Three hits, steal in narrow win
Rotowire
Albies went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox.
Albies racked up at least three hits for the fourth time this year, and the steal was his 12th of the season. The second baseman has been a massive disappointment at the plate -- he has a .634 OPS in 2025 -- but he's at least fared slightly better over the past month of action. Over his last 118 at-bats (31 games), Albies is hitting .263 with three long balls, five doubles, 21 RBI and five pilfers.

Rotowire
Albies went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI during Friday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Ends power drought
Rotowire
Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Athletics.
Albies put an end to his 36-game homer drought when he took J.T. Ginn deep in the seventh inning. During that span, Albies batted just .188 and slugged a pathetic .233, logging four doubles and one triple with a 12:24 BB:K. The second baseman has struggled overall in 2025, slashing .221/.292/.320 with seven homers, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases in 92 contests. The decline is a continuation of his 2024 performance, though Albies' prolonged poor hitting has yet to cost him the everyday role at the keystone, where he has maintained steady defense with just two errors this season.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Swipes seventh bag
Rotowire
Albies went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Mets.
The steal was his seventh of the season and his first since June 1, but Albies' fantasy investors are more worried about his power drought. The veteran second baseman hasn't gone yard in 22 games, a stretch in which he's slashing just .183/.272/.244 with three doubles, a triple, five runs and five RBI. His average exit velocity in 2025 of 86.7 mph is his lowest mark since 2020 and ranks in the 11th percentile in MLB, while his hard-hit rate of 26.7 percent sits in the fourth percentile.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Extends hit streak

Albies is 18-for-52 (.346) during the streak, as he looks to have bounced back from a slow start this year.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Hit streak goes to 11
Rotowire
Albies went 2-for-2 with a walk, two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Padres.
The second baseman delivered multiple extra-base hits in a contest for the first time this season as he extended his hitting streak to 11 games. Albies is slashing .366/.435/.463 during his surge with four doubles, four RBI and six runs, but he remains mired in a 20-game homer drought. He's had a rough start to the season overall, but the return of Ronald Acuna might help light a fire under Albies and Atlanta's other slumbering hitters.

The veteran second baseman has had a relatively quiet start to the season with a .248/.302/.395 slash line through 32 games, but he's provided both some pop and some speed with five long balls and five thefts while knocking in 14 runs and scoring 19 times.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Homers in opener
Rotowire
Albies went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.
Albies opened the scoring in the first inning with an RBI fielder's choice before putting Atlanta ahead 3-2 in the fourth with a 413-foot blast off Michael King.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Quiet spring continues
Rotowire
Albies went 0-for-3 in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.

Albies is locked into his starting job at the keystone and a prime spot in Atlanta's batting order.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Drives in five in Monday's matinee
Rotowire
Albies went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a home run and five RBI in an 8-7 loss to the Mets during the first game of Monday's doubleheader.
With Atlanta needing at least one win in the twin bill to make the playoffs, Albies did everything he could in the matinee to book his team's postseason tickets. The second baseman opened the scoring with a two-run homer off Tylor Megill in the third inning, then put his squad back on top in the eighth with a bases-loaded double, only to watch the bullpen implode further in the top of the ninth. Albies also contributed in a 3-0 win in the nightcap, going 1-for-4 with a run scored. The 27-year-old heads into the NL Wild Card Round having gone just 7-for-38 (.184) in nine games since making his late-season return from a wrist injury, but with two homers, five runs scored and seven RBI.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Belts first homer since return
Rotowire
Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.
Hitting right-handed against righty Darren McCaughan, Albies lofted the second pitch he saw in the first inning down the left-field line. It was Albies' first long ball in three games since coming off the IL, and first since July 6. The 27-year-old still isn't able to bat left-handed due to soreness in his wrist, but that might not be a bad thing for his production over the final week of the regular season -- he has just a .225/.292/.360 slash line this year in 298 plate appearances while hitting from the left side of the plate.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Reinstated from injured list
Rotowire
Atlanta activated Albies (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Albies is finally ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup after missing most of the second half with a fractured left wrist. The switch hitter will bat only from the right side of the plate for the time being, as he still feels some discomfort when hitting left-handed. Albies has always been a stronger hitter from the right side of the dish, boasting a career .932 OPS versus southpaws.

Braves' Ozzie Albies: Confirmed to return Friday
Rotowire
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.
