Key role in Friday's win Albies went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 1-0 win over the Marlins.

Impact After Ronald Acuna got hit by the first pitch of the game, Albies cashed him in with a sacrifice fly, and that was all the offense either squad could muster on the night. The second baseman has hit safely in five straight games and swiped a bag in three straight, continuing a hot stretch that has seen him slash .322/.362/.593 since the beginning of June with six homers, 10 steals, 19 runs and 31 RBI through 30 games.

Drives in seven in rout Albies went 5-for-6 with a pair of home runs, a stolen base, seven RBI and two additional runs in Wednesday's 20-2 win over the Mets.

Impact After driving in only six runs over the previous 11 games for a struggling Atlanta offense, Albies was at the center of the team's offensive eruption Wednesday. The five-hit day was the first of Albies' career, and helped him improve his OPS to .857 on the season. That's five points better than the career-best mark he posted in 2019.

Impact Albies delivered Atlanta's entire offensive output with one swing of the bat when he took Tylor Megill yard in the fifth inning. It was Albies' 13th home run of the season and fourth in his last 12 games. He's recorded at least one hit in eight of those 12 contests, also racking up eight runs scored, nine RBI and four stolen bases. Albies has delivered on his promise as a strong power and speed producer, as he has a career-best .247 ISO while also swiping 10 bases through 76 games.

Smacks 12th homer Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Reds.

Impact The long ball was his third in the last eight games and 12th of the year. Albies is slashing .297/.347/.527 through 23 games in June, adding six steals, 12 runs and 19 RBI to his ledger over that stretch.

JUNE 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Two steals in Tuesday's win Albies went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Mets.

Impact The second baseman has shifted into another gear on the basepaths in June with six of his nine steals on the year. Albies is also slashing .317/.364/.537 on the month with two homers, 11 runs and 18 RBI through 21 games.

JUNE 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag Sunday Albies went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a 9-1 loss to St. Louis in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Impact Albies hit a single in the fourth inning, then stole second. His dart to the keystone bought Freddie Freeman enough time to steal home for Atlanta's lone run in the loss. Albies is up to a .255/.323/.490 slash line with 10 home runs, seven steals, 43 RBI and 40 runs scored through 288 plate appearances.

JUNE 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Big day fuels big win Albies went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals.

Impact His two-run shot off Carlos Martinez in the second inning broke the game open for Atlanta and gave Albies his 10th homer of the year. The second baseman hadn't gone yard since May 22, but he's still been plenty productive in the meantime, slashing .310/.376/.512 in his last 21 games with four steals, 14 runs and 19 RBI in addition to Friday's blast.

Triples, scores in win Albies went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Albies tripled in the sixth inning, knocking in Ronald Acuna to increase Atlanta's lead to two runs. He later scored in the same inning on an Abraham Almonte double. The second baseman's batting average is down slightly at .250, but his .801 OPS is right around his career average. The 24-year-old has nine home runs, but he hasn't hit one since May 22. His six steals are second on the team behind Acuna's 14.

JUNE 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On base three times Friday Albies went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

Impact The second baseman has been en fuego in June, slashing .410/.477/.641 through 10 games with three steals, five runs and 12 RBI. Albies hasn't gone yard since May 22, but otherwise there's little in his recent performance for fantasy GMs invested in the 24-year-old to complain about.

JUNE 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Racking up RBI Albies went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run Saturday in Atlanta's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Albies has now recorded at least one double and one RBI in five consecutive games, and he's plated exactly two runs in the last four of those contests. Though he hasn't slugged a home run in Atlanta's last 10 games, Albies' rapidly rising batting average to go along with an uptick in his run producing and base stealing (3-for-4 over this stretch) has been a welcome sight for fantasy managers. He'll start at second base and bat third in Sunday's series finale.

Stays hot in loss to Nats Albies went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals.

Impact The second baseman got Atlanta back in the game in the seventh inning, tying things up at 3-3 with a two-run two-bagger, but the bullpen faltered late. Albies has five multi-hit performances in the last nine games, slashing .343/.425/.743 over that blistering stretch with three homers, two steals, 10 runs and 12 RBI as he puts a sluggish start to the season behind him.

JUNE 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores three times Sunday Albies went 2-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and three runs scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Batting cleanup as usual Sunday, Albies was able to get on base ahead of all three of Atlanta's home runs -- two by Austin Riley and one by Dansby Swanson. The 24-year-old Albies has multiple hits in each of the last three games, including three homers and a double. He's slashing .238/.311/.494 with nine homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 193 plate appearances this season.

MAY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The second baseman went yard from both sides of the plate Saturday, taking right-hander Mitch Keller deep in the fifth inning before launching a solo shot off southpaw Sam Howard in the seventh. Albies has three homers over the last two games and nine on the season to go along with a .231/.302/.491 slash line.
