Ozzie Albies Starting On The Bench Thursday
8 months agoAtlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is missing from Thursday's lineup for the series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nicky Lopez will step in at the keystone and hit ninth while Michael Harris II moves up to the two-hole for this one. It looks to be a simple day of maintenance for the 26-year-old Albies after a comeback from a left hamstring strain earlier this week. Expect the fantasy superstar to return to his usual spot in the lineup for Friday's action versus Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias. Albies is destroying left-handed pitching in 2023, hitting .388 (40-for-103) with five homers, seven doubles, and 18 RBI.
