The Atlanta Braves have been ravaged by injuries this season, but they could be getting star second baseman Ozzie Albies back soon, and reports indicate that the team expects him back on Friday against the Miami Marlins.
“After going 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk while playing for Triple-A Gwinnett in Jacksonville (Fla.) on Tuesday night, Albies went 2-for-5 with two singles on Wednesday,” according to MLB.com. “If all goes to plan, he will travel to Miami and rejoin Atlanta's lineup for Friday's series opener against the Marlins.”
This is a big development for the Braves, who need every bit of help they can get.
