Not starting Saturday Albies (calf) isn't starting Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Albies was removed from Friday's win over the Cubs in the ninth inning after he was hit by a pitch on the right calf. Ehire Adrianza will start at second base and bat sixth Saturday, and it's not yet clear whether Albies could be available off the bench.

Exits Friday's game Albies left Friday's win over the Cubs after he was hit by a pitch on the right calf, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Albies suffered the injury in the ninth inning of Friday's contest and was immediately removed from the game. Manager Brian Snitker said that the team would know more regarding Albies' status later in the night Friday. If Albies is forced to miss additional time, Ehire Adrianza could see increased playing time at second base.

Finds long ball again Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Albies recorded his first-ever hit off of Pablo Lopez when he took him deep to right in the first for Atlanta's second home run of the inning and gave them an early 3-0 lead. The 24-year-old began the year hitless in his first 19 at-bats but has started to settle in a bit at the plate as of late, as he's registered a hit in six of his last seven games, including two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored over that span. Manager Brian Snitker also decided to move Albies down to the No. 6 spot in the batting order, and it has proven to be a beneficial move after he recorded his first multi-hit effort of the season in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins.

Slugs first home run of season Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Phillies.

Impact Albies got things rolling quickly as he launched a 404-foot home run to right center field to give Atlanta a 2-1 lead in the first inning. He was held hitless the rest of the game, but it was still encouraging to see him hit his first long ball of the season. Albies is starting to find his groove a bit, as he's notched a hit in five straight games while tallying four RBI in that span.

Gets first hits of season Albies went 2-for-6 with an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Nationals.

Impact The second baseman snapped out of a miserable 0-for-16 stretch to start the season, producing a run-scoring groundout and two singles to left field. Albies has remained in the two-hole of Atlanta's lineup despite his struggles, which should give him plenty of opportunities to score and drive in runs once he and Freddie Freeman return to their typical offensive production. Albies' power should make itself heard sooner rather than later, considering that the switch hitter recorded 24 homers in each of the past two full seasons.

Hitting second, despite struggles Albies will start at second base while serving as Atlanta's No. 2 hitter in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

Impact Several lineup regulars are struggling at the moment for an 0-4 Atlanta squad, but none more than Albies, who has gone 0-for-16 with three strikeouts to begin the season. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker could consider making some changes to the lineup if the offense isn't able to heat up in the next few days, but for now, Albies will retain a favorable spot in the lineup between Ronald Acuna and Freddie Freeman. Dansby Swanson would be the most likely candidate to move into the No. 2 spot if Snitker elects to move Albies down the order at some point.

Goes yard Wednesday Albies hit his second home run of the spring during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.

Impact The second baseman missed a bit of time with a sore neck, but Albies is otherwise enjoying a solid spring, going 6-for-21 (.286) with a 3:6 BB:K. Still only 24 years old, he'll head into the regular season looking to regain or even top the form that saw him pile up 24 homers, 15 steals and an .852 OPS in 2019 after a wrist issue derailed his 2020 campaign.

Back in action Albies (neck) is in the lineup for Thursday's spring game against the Rays.

Impact Albies missed a couple days of action with a sore neck, but that will be the extent of his absence. As he figures to do regularly when the regular season gets underway, Albies will play second and hit second in Thursday's contest.

Scratched due to stiff neck Atlanta scratched Albies from its lineup for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against Pittsburgh due to a stiff neck.

Impact Ehire Adrianza was a late addition to the lineup card, filling in for Albies at second base and as Atlanta's No. 2 hitter. The team hasn't commented on the severity of Albies' injury, but he was presumably scratched as a precaution and is likely being viewed as day-to-day.

Looking to stay healthy in 2021 Albies is fully healthy after battling a wrist injury last season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact While the second baseman officially missed about a month of action in August and September with a bone contusion in his right wrist, unofficially the wrist was an issue for at least a week prior to his placement on the IL. "When you're healthier, everything is easier," Albies said Saturday. "It was just about resting and getting myself back to normal." He was dynamic once he returned to the lineup, slashing .338/.372/.581 with five homers and three steals in the final 18 games of the regular season before going yard twice more in the playoffs. The 24-year-old missed only six games combined over the previous two campaigns, so there's little reason to think Albies can't stay healthy this season and at least return to the level of production he flashed in 2019.
