ATLANTA BRAVES NEWS

Ozzie Albies - 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.

Jackson Stephens - Three-inning save Stephens earned the save, striking out one in three innings while allowing a hit in Tuesday's 10-4 win in Washington.

Impact Stephens came on in the seventh inning with the Braves leading 9-4 and finished off the Nationals for his second three-inning save of the season. The righty typically works in low leverage situations and made the most of his opportunity to tally a save. After a three-year absence from big-league action, the 28-year-old has put together a solid 2.61 ERA and 21:5 K:BB in 22 innings.

Michael Harris II - Homers in win Harris went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in a 10-4 win Tuesday in Washington.

Impact Harris doubled in a run in the third and added a solo shot in the sixth. The 21-year-old has homered in consecutive games and hit safely in seven straight. He is thriving in his first 17 games in the majors, slashing .323/.344/.548 with nine extra-base hits and two stolen bases.

Max Fried - Six strikeouts in win Fried (7-2) earned the victory Tuesday in Washington, striking out six in 5.2 innings while allowing four runs on six hits and a walk.

Impact Fried got off to a great starting, fanning the first five batters he faced. In the third, he loaded the bases with no outs, leading to a three-run inning. The lefty fell short of completing six innings for just the third time this season. His next start will likely be early next week against San Francisco.

Travis d'Arnaud - Second straight start behind plate D'Arnaud will start at catcher and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact D'Arnaud closed out Atlanta's weekend series with Pittsburgh by sitting out consecutive games, but he's been behind the plate for both of the first two games of the series in Washington. Meanwhile, William Contreras is once again on the bench, so for the moment, d'Arnaud appears to have recaptured his standing atop the depth chart at catcher, if he ever really lost it at all.

William Contreras - Remains on bench Contreras will sit for the second straight game Tuesday against the Nationals.

Impact Contreras started five out of six games last week, appearing four times behind the plate and once as the designated hitter. That seemed to suggest he was moving into a more consistent starting role, but it's now been Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate the last two games.

Braves bringing up Phil Gosselin to help replace injured Ozzie Albies WASHINGTON – The Braves are turning to a veteran utility man to help replace the injured Ozzie Albies.

JUNE 14, 2022 • AJC.COM

Phil Gosselin - Contract selected by Atlanta Gosselin's contract was selected by Atlanta on Tuesday.

Impact Gosselin gets the call after Ozzie Albies fractured his left foot Monday, and he could stick around for a while, as Albies has been placed on the 60-day injured list. Orlando Arcia is expected to get the first chance to fill the vacant second base job, with Gosselin moving into Arcia's utility infield role, but it's possible Gosselin earns more time than that if he hits well. He's had stretches as a productive hitter in recent years, but his lifetime .261/.314/.362 line suggests he's best suited for a bench role.

JUNE 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Orlando Arcia - Expected to replace Albies Arcia is expected to step in as Atlanta's primary second baseman after Ozzie Albies (foot) was placed on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact In a corresponding move, Atlanta selected the contract of Phil Gosselin from Triple-A Gwinnett to replace Albies on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, but Gosselin is expected to step into the utility role that Arcia has handled for much of the season. In order to hold off Gosselin and other potential call-ups or trade acquisitions from playing time at the keystone, however, Arcia may need to demonstrate more dependability at the plate than he showed in 2021, when he produced a career-worst .567 OPS in 89 plate appearances between stops with Milwaukee and Atlanta. He's performed far better in sporadic playing time this season, slashing .313/.393/.458 in 56 plate appearances. Arcia is likely to occupy a spot near the bottom of the batting order while he fills in for Albies.

Ozzie Albies - Goes on 60-day IL Atlanta placed Albies (foot) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Albies' placement on the 60-day IL comes as little surprise after he was diagnosed with a fractured left foot shortly after exiting Monday's 9-5 win over the Nationals. A timeline for his return likely won't become available until a decision is made regarding whether Albies will require surgery, but even if he avoids a procedure, he'll be sidelined for a minimum of two months as a result of Tuesday's transaction. Phil Gosselin was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Albies' spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, but David O'Brien of The Athletic expects Orlando Arcia to get the first crack at replacing Albies as Atlanta's everyday second baseman.

Michael Harris II - Hits first big-league homer Harris went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-5 win over the Nationals.

Impact It took 16 games, but Harris finally swatted his first homer, a solo shot off Nationals reliever Kyle Finnegan in the eighth inning. In his last six contests, Harris is 8-for-21 (.381) with four extra-base hits. He's maintained a .293/.317/.466 slash line with seven RBI, 10 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 60 plate appearances, earning an everyday role in center field.

JUNE 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Duvall - Homers, scores thrice in win Duvall went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Nationals.

Impact Duvall has rediscovered his power in June, with five of his seven homers this season coming in the last nine games. He also showed rare patience at the plate Monday, drawing his first walks since May 25. The outfielder owns a .209/.270/.369 slash line with 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple through 60 contests. While the power is nice, he's likely to remain a drag on batting average since he's struck out at a 31.4 percent rate this year.
