Braves’ Ozzie Albies considered day-to-day
Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies’ status is day-to-day after he was hit in the calf by a pitch in the ninth inning of Friday’s 5-2 win over the Cubs.
Albies exited the game after he was hit, walking off on his own power. Ehire Adrianza started at second base Saturday. The Braves will see how Albies feels in the next day, but it’s encouraging that he didn’t require immediate placement on the injured list.
“He’s pretty sore today,” manager Brian Snitker said Saturday. “He’s going to be day-to-day. He’s one of the toughest kids I’ve ever been around. We’ll see. They’ll treat him up all day today and see where he’s at tomorrow and go day-to-day with him.”
Albies, 24, is hitting .157/.262/.353 with two homers, eight RBIs and seven runs scored in 14 games this season.
