Braves' Ozzie Albies could return for opener vs. Rockies

Field Level Media

Despite devastating injuries, the Atlanta Braves sit atop the National League East, in position to win their fourth straight division title.

So what's one more injury to overcome?

Atlanta got a scare when second baseman Ozzie Albies was carried off the field at Dodger Stadium after fouling a pitch off his left knee Tuesday night. Albies couldn't walk, and a fracture was feared.

However, the Braves (70-62) got good news when tests showed no major damage, and the All-Star could be in the lineup when Atlanta opens a four-game series against the Colorado Rockies (61-72) on Thursday in Denver.
