Braves News: Ozzie Albies remains hopeful for return, Dodgers go down in Atlanta, and more
The Atlanta Braves have been without second baseman Ozzie Albies since late July, when he went down with a fractured left wrist. While his return date is still up in the air, Albies is hopeful that it will be sometime this season.
Ozzie Albies said he expects to play again this season. He said he can bat only from the right side until the left-handed swing feels better. Because the right-handed swing feels good, he is hopeful he can return within the next week — but there’s no set date.

While Albies eyes a return this season, Braves skipper Brian Snitker remains unsure. The two have not discussed it yet.
Snit said he’s not sure if Albies will play again this year. Asked again if Albies would just bag right-handed, Snit said they still haven’t had that conversation

The Braves are currently fighting for a playoff spot, and the return of Ozzie Albies may be just what the team needs.
