Braves Star Ozzie Albies Rehabbing in Jacksonville as He Prepares to Return to Atlanta
Albies to Play Five Games in Jacksonville
Ozzie Albies, the Atlanta Braves' star second baseman, is currently on a rehab assignment in Jacksonville, Florida. Albies has been out of action since June 13th with a fractured finger. He is expected to play five games with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the Braves' Double-A affiliate, before returning to Atlanta.
Albies has been one of the Braves' most consistent players in recent years. In 2021, he batted .276 with 30 home runs and 106 RBIs. He also led the National League in stolen bases with 40.
Albies' Injury was a Blow to the Braves
Albies' injury was a significant blow to the Braves. He is one of the team's best hitters and a key part of their infield defense. Without Albies, the Braves have struggled to score runs and have been more vulnerable on defense.
The Braves are hoping that Albies will be able to return to the team by the end of July. His return would be a major boost to the Braves, who are currently in first place in the NL East.
Albies Excited to Be Back on the Field
Albies is excited to be back on the field and is eager to help the Braves win another World Series. He said, "I'm just happy to be back playing baseball. I've been working hard to get back on the field, and I'm ready to help my team win."
The Braves are confident that Albies will be able to return to his previous form and help them win another championship.
