Braves May See Star Return From Injury This Friday. The Atlanta Braves may see a major contributor back far sooner than anticipated.
Like much of Major League Baseball, the Atlanta Braves have struggled with injuries this season.
In Atlanta’s season opener, All-Star catcher Sean Murphy suffered an oblique strain and is still out of the game. One prominent player who will miss the entire 2024 season due to surgery on his right elbow is starting pitcher Spencer Strider.
However, second baseman Ozzie Albies, who hasn’t played since last Tuesday due to a fractured toe, has been working out and might be reinstated as soon as he’s cleared to play this Friday. Atlanta could receive some reinforcements soon.
Before Tuesday’s game against the Miami Marlins, manager Brian Snitker spoke with the media and stated that Albies is a candidate to make a comeback on Friday. Initially, it was thought that Albies would miss three weeks to a month due to the injury. Following an on-field workout on Monday, the second baseman appeared to move without limitation as he participated in full batting practice.

Prior to his injury, Albies batted behind Ronald Acuña Jr. in all fifteen of the games he participated in.317/.386/.492 with 14 RBIs and two home runs. He was struck by a pitch on his toe last Monday during the Houston Astros game, resulting in an injury. Despite some pain and agony, he managed to finish the game. However, after the game, medical examinations and an x-ray revealed that he had broken his big toe, and on Tuesday, he was added to the injured list. Luis Guillorme and David Fletcher have alternated at second base since Ozzie was placed on the disabled list. Fletcher was called up from AAA Gwinnett.
