Suffers broken pinky Albies exited Saturday's game against the Phillies with a fractured right pinky finger.

Impact Given that there are less than three weeks left in the regular season, this probably means we've seen the last of Albies in 2022. He suffered the injury while sliding into second base. Vaughn Grissom will replace Albies as the everyday second baseman.

Ozzie Albies returns from injury, in lineup for Braves

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies has been reinstated from the injured list

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ozzie Albies returns for Braves months after foot fracture Second baseman Ozzie Albies is back for the Braves, rejoining the club after a months-long absence because of injury.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • AJC.COM

Activated by Atlanta Albies (foot) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Albies underwent surgery to repair a broken right foot July 15 and has been sidelined since then, but he began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett at the beginning of September. He hit .333 with a home run, a triple, six RBI and four runs over seven minor-league games and will be available for Friday's series opener against the Phillies. Albies' return will likely lead to decreased playing time for Vaughn Grissom.

Expected to take BP next week Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Wednesday that Albies (foot) is expected to continue ramping up his progression of baseball activities next week while he accompanies the team on...

Impact Albies, who has been on the shelf since undergoing surgery July 15 to repair a broken right foot, has already been cleared for infield work since shedding his walking boot, and he'll likely be adding batting practice to his regimen of activities during the upcoming week. Though Albies' inclusion on the road trip is a positive sign, his activation from the 60-day injured list isn't imminent, as Snitker and the team is not yet willing to put out a target date for the 25-year-old's return. David O'Brien of The Athletic speculates that Albies will likely need a two-week rehab assignment before Atlanta is comfortable activating him, so mid-September may be a possible timeline for when he's ready to go. In the meantime, rookie Vaughn Grissom will continue to serve as Atlanta's everyday second baseman.

Plays catch Wednesday Albies (foot) played catch Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Albies shed his walking boot last week and is taking part in light baseball activities. Assuming he feels good after playing catch, the 25-year-old is expected to ramp up his rehab process over the next few weeks. Albies will likely be in the mix to return from the injured list around mid-to-late August.

Aiming August return Albies (foot) is hoping to return in mid-to late-August, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

Impact General manager Alex Anthopoulos noted that Albies is at 75 percent weight-bearing on his surgically repaired left foot. Albies will still need to build through a progression of fielding his position and running the bases prior to going on a rehab assignment, but it appears as though he is at least on schedule -- if not a bit ahead.

Gets surgery for broken foot Atlanta announced that Albies underwent successful surgery Wednesday in Green Bay, Wis. to stabilize a fracture in his left foot.

Impact The club's decision to place Albies on the 60-day injured list a day earlier signaled that surgery was a likely outcome for the 25-year-old, who broke his foot during a plate appearance in Monday's win over the Nationals. Atlanta hasn't announced whether it anticipates Albies missing more than the minimum two months, and a clearer target date for his return may not come until he's able to resume baseball activities. Orlando Arcia is expected to serve as Atlanta's primary second baseman while Albies is on the mend from surgery.
