Braves Put Ozzie Albies On 10-Day Injured List
1 year agoThe Atlanta Braves placed second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Monday night with a left-hamstring strain, according to manager Brian Snitker. The Braves will most likely bring up infielder Vaughn Grissom from the minors to take Albies' spot on the active roster, and he'll share playing time at second base with utility man Nicky Lopez. Lopez filled in for Albies on Monday against the New York Yankees and has seven hits and eight RBI in his first two games for the Braves after being acquired in a trade with the Kansas City Royals on July 30. The 26-year-old Albies needs to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues. When healthy, he's a must-start fantasy option with 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 75 runs scored in 457 at-bats to go with a .267/.327/.514 slash line.
