Albies went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 12-4 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old second baseman got the barrage started for Atlanta by socking a two-run homer off Aaron Nola in the first inning for his first long ball of the season. Albies has seen his steals totals dwindle over the last couple years, as he's gone 16-for-22 on the basepaths in 212 games while registering a sprint speed in the 55th percentile in both 2022 and 2023, but even if he never becomes a reliable stolen base threat again, his power and prime placement in one of the league's most potent offenses keep his fantasy floor high.

Albies went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.

Albies has gone 4-for-22 so far in Grapefruit League action with a 2:6 BB:K, but there are no concerns with the 27-year-old as he looks to follow up a big 2023 campaign that saw him set new careers highs with 33 homers and 109 RBI.

For the season, he's slashing .268/.326/.507 with 28 home runs, 90 RBI, 75 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 120 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Albies was activated from the 10-day injured list earlier Monday after missing two weeks with a strained left hamstring. He'll step back right into an everyday role in the middle infield and will get a favorable setup this week as Atlanta opens a three-game series in hitter-friendly Coors Field.
