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.

EDGE Analysis

Albies' triple -- his second in as many days -- brought home Freddie Freeman during a four-run first inning that proved to be the difference in the series finale.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 13-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

It took 20 games, but the 24-year-old second baseman finally stole his first base of the season. Albies has struggled at the plate right along with most of the Atlanta lineup through the first few weeks, and he's slashing .169/.265/.366 with three homers, 10 RBI and 10 runs.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The second baseman has a slow start to the season, but Albies may be coming out of his funk. Over his last nine games he's gone just 7-for-31 (.226), but six of his hits (three doubles and all three of his homers on the year) have gone for extra bases.

Albies (calf) will start at second base and bat fifth Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta won't have star outfielder Ronald Acuna (abdomen) in its lineup for the series opener, but the return of Albies from a two-game absence is a decent consolation prize. After struggling to a .139/.162/.278 slash line while batting second in each Atlanta's first 10 games, Albies has shown improvement since moving to the middle of the order. He's posted a 1.193 OPS in his four games batting fourth or fifth in the lineup.
