Ozzie Albies Drops To Fifth In Tuesday's Lineup
4 years agoThe Atlanta Braves starting lineup has been shuffled a bit for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Second baseman Ozzie Albies, who had batted second in each of the team's previous 10 games this year, is hitting fifth on Tuesday. As a result, Freddie Freeman has been bumped up to second and Marcell Ozuna has been bumped up to third. Albies has struggled out of the gate this year. Through 10 games, he's slashed .128/.143/.256 with one home run, two doubles, six RBI and five runs. He might have better RBI opportunities from the five-spot, but it's still a downgrade after hitting between Ronald Acuna Jr. and Freeman. We'll see if the move sticks.
