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.

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.

Suffers fractured foot Albies has been diagnosed with a fractured left foot after leaving Monday's game against the Nationals.
Impact It's too early to know when Albies could be back in action, but he will undoubtedly require a trip to the injured list. Look for Orlando Arcia to step in at second base with Albies out of commission for the foreseeable future.

Blasts grand slam in win Albies went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.
Impact Albies punctuated Atlanta's eight-run seventh inning with a grand slam to produce the final score. He's hit safely in seven straight games with two homers and 11 RBI in that span, though he hasn't record a multi-hit effort during the streak. For the season, he's posted a .249/.289/.414 slash line with eight long balls, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored, three stolen bases and 15 doubles through 60 contests.

Smacks seventh homer Albies went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI on Wednesday against the Athletics.
Impact Albies did the majority of his damage with a three-run shot in the seventh inning. He now has seven homers on the campaign, though this was his first since April 23. In 161 at-bats between going yard, Albies has slugged just .317. Despite the power outage, Albies has scored 32 runs, tallied 28 RBI and swiped three bags while hitting .248 across 245 plate appearances on the season.

Not starting Friday Albies isn't starting Friday's game against the Rockies, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Albies has hit .333 with four doubles, five runs, a walk and two strikeouts over the last five games, but he'll get a breather Friday. Orlando Arcia will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

Crosses plate twice Sunday Albies went 1-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.
Impact He nearly led Atlanta to a ninth-inning comeback from a 4-1 deficit, doubling home Travis d'Arnaud before scoring himself on a Dansby Swanson groundout, but no one else on the team stepped up. Albies has hit safely in five straight games and he's slashing .266/.272/.316 through 19 contests in May with a steal, six RBI and 12 runs, but he hasn't homered since April 23.
MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Notches seventh double Albies went 1-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Milwaukee.
Impact With three doubles in his last five games, Albies is beginning to tap into more power, but he remains in the midst of a long home-run drought that dates back to April 23. Even though he's moved to a typically run-producing-friendly role in the middle of the order since Ronald Acuna was cleared to make his season debut in late April, Albies has driven in only four runs over his last 21 games. Albies will remain in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale in Milwaukee, manning second base and batting fifth.

Power surge continues Albies went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Marlins.
Impact After Jazz Chisholm led off the game with a solo shot in the top of the first inning, Albies answered back in the bottom of the frame with his own leadoff blast, setting the tone for a wild day of offense. Albies is the unlikely MLB co-leader in home runs at the moment, as his six long balls has him tied with C.J. Cron, and all nine of the second baseman's nine hits have gone for extra bases, fueling his lopsided .242/.319/.581 slash line through 16 games.

Two hits, stolen base Albies went 2-for-5 with a double, run and stolen base in a 3-1 victory against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Impact Albies doubled in the third inning, and singled, stole second and scored in the fifth to register his second multi-hit game of the season. The theft was the 25-year-old's first as he works toward his career high of 20 set last season and that speed, when paired with a slugging of .577 among the league leader puts Albies in rare company.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Slugs fifth homer Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Albies helped chase Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw in the sixth inning with a 421-foot solo blast. That was the second baseman's only hit of the game, and he has only one multi-hit effort so far this season. Albies is batting .213 through 47 at-bats, but he is tied for the MLB lead with five long balls.
APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE
Goes yard again Saturday Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Padres.
Impact The second baseman has now homered in three straight games and four of the last five, extending his hitting streak to six games in the process. Despite the hot streak, Albies is only batting .237 (9-for-38) through the first 10 games of the season, but his four homers, six runs and eight RBI have given him plenty of fantasy value.
APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE
Homers once again Albies went 1-for-5 with a home run and two strikeouts in Friday's win over the Padres.
Impact Albies extended his hitting streak to five games and also went yard for the third time over his last four contests. Through 40 plate appearances this season, the star second baseman is hitting only .242 but has shown the same kind of power that made him go yard 30 times in 2021.
APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE
Slugs second homer Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Padres on Thursday.
Impact Albies' long ball was virtually meaningless in the overall context of the game -- it came in the ninth inning with the Braves down by 12 runs -- but it all counts the same in fantasy. The homer was the second in three contests for the star second baseman and extended his modest hitting streak to four games. After starting the season with just one hit in his first 12 at-bats, Albies has gone 6-for-16 over the four-game span.
