Heads back to bench Hechavarria is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact Hechavarria had started the previous four games at third base in place of the injured Austin Riley (quadriceps), but the newly called up Pablo Sandoval will man the hot corner for Atlanta in the club's regular-season finale. The Braves remain optimistic that Riley will be ready to go for the start of the postseason, so Hechavarria's playing time was already set to take a hit even before Sandoval's promotion.

Returns to bench role Hechavarria is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Impact Hechavarria had started at second base in each of the Braves' last three games, but he'll retreat to the bench on a full-time basis after Atlanta reinstated Ozzie Albies (wrist) from the injured list ahead of Wednesday's contest. The veteran will at least stick around as Albies' top backup after the Braves optioned Johan Camargo to their alternate training site.

Picks up second straight start Hechavarria will start at second base and will bat eighth Monday against the Marlins.
Impact The 31-year-old will crack the lineup for the second straight day after going 2-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Nationals. Most of Hechavarria's value to the Braves comes from his strong work in the field, and that may be enough for him to stick around in a timeshare at the keystone with Johan Camargo, whose .611 OPS on the season is only 89 points better than Hechavarria's mark. Both players will fade into full-time reserve roles, however, once Ozzie Albies (wrist) is reinstated from the injured list.

Not starting Wednesday Hechavarria isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.
Impact Hechavarria will take a seat for the third time in the past four games even with Ozzie Albies (wrist) still on the injured list. Johan Camargo is starting at second base Wednesday, batting seventh.

Out of Game 2 lineup Hechavarria is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
Impact Hechavarria received the start in Game 1 and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout, but he should continue to see regular time at second base while Ozzie Albies (wrist) remains sidelined. Johan Camargo will operate at the keystone in Game 2 for Atlanta.

Two hits in loss to Phils Hechavarria went 2-for-3 in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Phillies.
Impact Atlanta only managed four hits in total off Jake Arrieta and the Philly bullpen, so Hechavarria's performance stands out. The veteran infielder came into the game having gone 1-for-11 on the year, but he should continue to get consistent playing time at second base while Ozzie Albies (wrist) is on the mend.

Filling in for Albies Hechavarria will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Mets.
Impact He'll be making his second start of the series in place of Ozzie Albies, who continues to manage a wrist injury. Manager Brian Snitker characterized Albies' absence from the lineup Sunday as more of a maintenance day, so Hechavarria doesn't look like he'll be in line to fill an everyday role in the near future.
