Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is headed to the injured list after leaving Atlanta's 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday in the ninth inning with a left wrist injury, manager Brian Snitker said in his postgame media availability.
After the news conference, the team announced on social media that the veteran underwent X-rays that revealed a fracture. He is expected to miss about eight weeks.
"It's not good," Snitker said.
The infielder was trying to field a throw at second on a stolen-base attempt and bent his glove hand back when he collided with Cardinals outfielder Michael Siani.
