Albies will sit Saturday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Albies is one of several Atlanta regulars who will get the day off Saturday as the team prioritizes staying sharp for the playoffs. Orlando Arcia will start at second base.

Albies went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks. He was also caught stealing once.

EDGE Analysis

Albies opened the scoring the third inning when he doubled home Freddie Freeman for his 101st RBI of the season. Albies also picked up a pair of singles and is 8-for-21 during his current five-game hitting streak. He's slashing .259/.313/.492 with 30 home runs and 17 stolen bases (in 21 attempts) over 646 plate appearances this season.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Albies had a sacrifice fly in the first to give Atlanta a quick 1-0 lead and then later followed up a double by Freddie Freeman with a two-run homer in the fifth to extend the lead to 6-1. The long ball was his 30th of the year and put him at 100 RBI for the season as he became the first-ever Atlanta second baseman to hit 30 long balls in a season. Albies does have seven home runs this month but is slashing just .230/.263/.527 with 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and 4:16 BB:K over 17 games.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-1 win against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Albies launched a solo shot off Arizona starter Luke Weaver to give Atlanta an early four-run lead it wouldn't relinquish. The long ball is the 24-year-old's sixth of September as more than one third of his 16 hits this month have left the yard, though Albies is batting a mediocre .225 across 70 September at-bats.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After homering in each of his first four games of September, Albies endured a 1-for-19 dry spell at the dish over the subsequent four contests before getting back on track Sunday. Two batters after Albies connected on his solo shot in the seventh inning, Freddie Freeman left the yard and joined teammate Adam Duvall (34) as members of the 30-home run club. Albies (28), Austin Riley (29) and Dansby Swanson (26) will all have shots at reaching that benchmark over the final three weeks of the season.

Albies went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The second baseman was the hero Tuesday. He helped Atlanta retake the lead in the seventh inning with a two-run blast, and he added an RBI single for insurance in the eighth. Albies has homered in four straight games and now has 27 for the year. He's added a .262/.318/.502 slash line with 93 RBI, 88 runs scored and 17 stolen bases across 581 plate appearances.

Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Albies' only hit came on the first pitch of the day after taking Ryan Feltner deep to right to open up the game. The 24-year-old has homered in three straight games and four of his last six, a run similar to the one he had in August when he had five home runs in six games. Albies has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games and is now slashing .260/.316/.495 with 26 homers, 89 RBI, 86 runs scored, 17 steals and 42:106 BB:K over 576 plate appearances.

Albies went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Saturday in a loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Albies took Colorado starter German Marquez deep in the third inning to give Atlanta a short-lived 3-2 lead. He also homered Friday after sitting out a few games due to a knee injury. Albies' long ball Saturday helped him establish a new career high with 25 on the season.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

The second baseman missed two games with a minor knee injury, but he showed that the issue is not a concern by homering in his first at-bat Friday. Albies is up to 24 long balls on the season, tying his career-high mark set in each of the 2018 and 2019 campaigns. He also has established career highs with 87 RBI and 17 stolen bases this season.

Albies (knee) is starting at second base and leading off Friday in Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Amazingly Albies will end up missing only a few games after suffering what looked like a scary injury Tuesday, when he needed to be helped off the field after fouling a ball off his knee. This is doubly excellent news for his fantasy managers, as he will get to take advantage of a few games in Coors Field.
