The brave suffered another major injury. Ozzie Albies He was diagnosed with a fractured bone on his left hand/wrist (transmitted by Mark Bowman of MLB.com). The second baseman appeared to be injured in a swing strike in the third inning of the game tonight. He picked up the next court and called on the trainer to quit.
Albies broke the same wrist during a tag match last July. He has been losing for two months, and before his brief playoff run in Atlanta, he managed only the late-season return. Obviously, this will cost him the last five games of the season. The bigger concern is that he suffered similar major injuries for several years in a row. At least it will have some impact on his early offseason.
Hamate fractures usually last about two months. If Albies needs a similar schedule, that will give him enough time to prepare for spring training. However, the power output of batsmen drops after a wrist fracture is not uncommon, raising more questions about expectations for players whose numbers have dropped over the past two seasons.
Albies ended the season with a .240/.306/.365 batting line. He picked up 16 home runs and tried to score 14-17 on a stolen basis. Albies led the second baseman with a 667-board appearance. He has been durable this season, but he hasn’t hit the ball with too much authority until the past few weeks. In the first half, he hit .220/.290/.316. After the All-Star game, Albies showed up better, batting .270/.328/.439. He will avoid the same slow start when he comes back from another late injury.
Over the next two years, the Braves have a continuous $7MM club option in the Albies. The first of them comes with a 4mm acquisition. For front desk workouts, this is still very easy. $3mm difference vs utility/deep player like Kyle Farmer,,,,, Thairo Estrada,,,,, Josh Rojas and Kevin Newman He was directed as a free agent last offseason.
Albis’ injury added some of the problems in Atlanta’s infield. ha-seong kim It seems that efforts are being made to withdraw from the 16mm contract. If he does, the brave will need to find an upgrade Nick Allen In shortstop. In this case, they will probably work hard to bring Kim back to his contract for years. Austin Riley Will be back from the core surgery. Nacho Alvarez Jr. In Riley’s absence, his first real run as a third baseman every day didn’t show much consistency.
