September 20 - The Atlanta Braves returned three-time All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list prior to Friday's series opener against the host Miami Marlins.

Albies has been sidelined since fracturing his wrist during the Braves' 6-2 loss to the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on July 21.

He is batting .258 with eight homers and 46 RBIs in 90 games this season.

Albies, 27, has been a key player for the Braves since reaching the majors in 2017. He has smacked more than 20 homers on four occasions, including a career-best 33 last season.
