Overview

  • Albies exited in the third inning against the Nationals after a swing, with Nick Allen finishing the at-bat and taking over at second base.
  • The Braves announced a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, ruling the second baseman out for the rest of the season.
  • Last year he fractured the same wrist, returning late in 2024 after a two-month absence.
  • Hamate fractures for position players typically require roughly two months of recovery, which could shape the early offseason.
  • The 28-year-old had appeared in all 157 games this year and is batting .240 with 16 home runs and 74 RBIs, while Atlanta holds a $7 million option for 2026 with a $4 million buyout.
