Returns Friday in Coors Albies (knee) is starting at second base and leading off Friday in Colorado.

Impact Amazingly Albies will end up missing only a few games after suffering what looked like a scary injury Tuesday, when he needed to be helped off the field after fouling a ball off his knee. This is doubly excellent news for his fantasy managers, as he will get to take advantage of a few games in Coors Field.

Not starting Thursday Albies (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

Impact A report earlier in the evening indicated Albies was expected to rejoin Atlanta's lineup Thursday night , but it turns out he is not ready for a full nine innings just yet. He may be able to pinch hit if needed, but it will be Ehire Adrianza manning second base when Thursday's contest gets underway.

Expected to play Thursday Albies (knee) is expected to start Thursday's game against the Rockies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Albies missed Wednesday's game due to a left knee injury and was initially expected to sit out Thursday, but he participated in pregame drills ahead of Thursday's series opener in Colorado. The 24-year-old has recorded hits in six of his last seven games and has hit .321 with a home run, two doubles, four runs, two RBI and a stolen base during that time.

Likely to sit next two days Manager Brian Snitker said after Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers that he expects Albies (knee) to miss a couple games, but Atlanta is hopeful the second baseman will avoid a stin...

Impact Albies went 0-for-2 on Tuesday before departing midway through his third plate appearance of the night in the fifth inning, when he fouled a pitch off his left knee. Though Albies fell to the ground in a heap and looked to be in immense pain as he was helped off the field with the assistance of team trainers, Atlanta was relieved to find that initial X-rays on his knee returned negative. Atlanta is labeling Albies as day-to-day for the time being, but even if he doesn't require a trip to the IL, the team may be inclined to call up one or both of Orlando Arcia and Johan Camargo from the minors when the roster expands from 26 to 28 men Wednesday to provide additional middle-infield depth. For now, Ehire Adrianza looks like the next man up at second base behind Albies.

X-rays return negative Albies had X-rays on his left knee come back negative after leaving Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Atlanta will breath a sigh of relief thanks to the X-ray results after Albies fouled a pitch off his left knee and was carried off the field during the fifth inning Tuesday. The 24-year-old has avoided a fracture, but he seems unlikely to be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale in Los Angeles, and it's unclear whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.

All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies of the Atlanta Braves has been carried off the field after fouling a ball off his left knee at Dodger Stadium

Leaves with apparent knee injury Albies was helped off the field during Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after fouling a ball off his left knee, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Abies was on the ground in significant pain after fouling the pitch off himself before being carried off the field during the fifth inning. It's potentially a major loss for Atlanta, which has already lost Ronald Acuna for the season with a torn ACL. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, though based on his initial reaction Albies is unlikely to be in the lineup Wednesday, even if it's not a serious issue.

Clocks 23rd home run Albies went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-0 win over San Francisco.

Impact Albies doubled and scored in the seventh inning before tacking on a solo shot in the eighth. It was his 23rd long ball of the year and first since Aug. 14. Over the previous 11 games, the switch-hitting infielder had just two extra-base hits with a .580 OPS. Albies improved his season slash line to .260/.318/.487 with 83 runs scored and 63 extra-base hits.

On base four times in big win Albies went 3-for-5 with a walk, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 12-2 rout of the Marlins.

Impact The second baseman remains locked in at the plate and extended his hitting streak to six games, a stretch during which he's batting .393 (11-for-28) with four homers, two steals, eight runs and 11 RBI. Albies has run hot and cold all season, resulting in a .263/.326/.498 slash line, but he's tied his career high with 15 stolen bases -- and with 22 homers and 83 RBI, he sits two long balls and three RBI shy of doing the same in those categories.
