Albies is fully healthy after battling a wrist injury last season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Albies went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Monday's NLCS Game 1 win against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Albies gave the Braves a pair of ultimately unnecessary insurance runs with his homer off Jake McGee in the top of the ninth, extended Atlanta's lead from 3-1 to 5-1. He's now homered twice in 15 career postseason games but still owns a poor .233/.277/.350 playoff slash line.

Albies went 3-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday, as the Braves beat the Marlins 11-1.

EDGE Analysis

Albies smashed his sixth homer of the season in the second inning and has three bombs over his past seven games. He is a scorching 11-for-28 over that same stretch and raised his average to .289 with Tuesday's performance.

Albies went 2-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored in a 15-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Albies capped off a six-run fourth inning with a two-run blast that barely cleared the wall in left to put the Braves up 12-0. Later in the sixth, he hit his second one and the sixth overall of the night by the Braves to extend their lead to 13-1. Since returning from the injured list Sept 9, Albies is hitting .378/.410/.757 with four home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs scored after struggling mightily to begin the season. He'll look to stay hot as the Braves continue to fight for playoff positioning before the regular season concludes at the end of the month.

Albies went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

His sixth-inning blast off Max Scherzer proved to be the game-winning hit in an 8-4 victory. Albies has been on fire since coming off the IL, hitting .364 (8-for-22) with a double, two homers, three steals, five RBI and seven runs over his last five games.

Albies (wrist) went 3-for-6 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored Wednesday as the Braves pummeled the Marlins, 29-9.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday marked Albies' first game back since hitting the injured list Aug. 4 with a right wrist contusion, and he wasted no time making his presence felt, getting the Braves on the board in the second with an RBI groundout. Albies would eventually come up to bat for a second time in the same inning and put an exclamation point on an 11-run frame by teaming up with Adam Duvall for back-to-back home runs. Prior to his stint on the IL, Albies was hitting .159/.196/.273 with a home run, six RBI and 13 strikeouts in 11 games, so he may continue to be slotted in towards the bottom of the batting order until he starts consistently showing he can get on base at a higher clip.

Albies (wrist) will start at second base and will bat eighth Wednesday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Albies will re-enter the lineup for the first time since Aug. 4 after the Braves activated him from the 10-day injured list earlier in the day. Though Albies primarily batted out of the two hole before being shut down with the sprained right wrist, the Braves are expected to ride the hot bats of Travis d'Arnaud and Dansby Swanson near the top of the order for the foreseeable future. As a result, Albies may be confined to a spot in the bottom third of the order until he proves deserving of a better assignment.

Albies (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

He comes right into a tough matchup against righty Pablo Lopez, but this is still a welcome return for those who have been patient while Albies was on the IL. Albies should be the everyday second baseman over the rest of the season. Johan Camargo was optioned in a corresponding move.

Albies (wrist) will participate in an intrasquad matchup at the Braves' alternate training site Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Albies' recovery has gone a bit slowly, but he's been making significant strides recently. He was able to resume swinging over the past few days, and Tuesday's intrasquad matchup could be one of his final tuneups before a potential return. A timetable for him to return to the majors hasn't yet been announced, but he could be back on the field soon if all goes well Tuesday.

Albies (wrist) is taking live batting practice Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old's progression from the bone contusion in his right wrist he suffered in late July has been slow, but participating in live batting practice is a promising sign for his return. Albies could return sometime next week if he continues ramping up with no issues.
