Ozzie Albies Seeks To Stay Hot In Return To Play
10 months agoThe Atlanta Braves and second baseman Ozzie Albies commence their season's second half on Friday for a three-game set with the Chicago White Sox. The 26-year-old was raking before the break, batting a robust .295 with a .970 OPS, 11 home runs, 27 RBI, and five stolen bases over his last 31 games (122 at-bats). The surge helped Albies notch his third career All-Star selection. The switch-hitter sets up against right-handed pitchers Michael Kopech on Friday, Lance Lynn on Saturday, and Dylan Cease on Sunday. Albies carries inferior platoon splits versus righties, but he should still be confidently deployed across all formats this weekend as part of the high-flying Braves offense.
