Braves make move on rising weapon after brutal Ozzie Albies injury

A rough few days for the Atlanta Braves was made worse on Sunday when second baseman Ozzie Albies left the game with a wrist injury. After the game, the Braves announced that Albies is expected to miss eight weeks with a fractured wrist. The corresponding move, however, should get fans excited.

ESPN's Kiley McDaniel reported later on that Nacho Alvarez Jr. would be joining the Braves from AAA Gwinnett. What can fans expect from Alvarez's MLB debut? And how does this injury impact the MLB trade deadline?

With the Gwinnett Stripers in AAA, Alvarez has been crushing it at the plate.
