Albies (hamstring) isn't certain to be activated from the 10-day injured list this weekend, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Albies is first eligible to return Friday and is said to be trending well in his recovery from the left hamstring strain that put him on the shelf Aug. 15, but O'Brien hears that the second baseman's status remains a "day-to-day" situation leading into Atlanta's three-game weekend series in San Francisco. Nicky Lopez and Vaughn Grissom continue to share starts at the keystone for the runaway NL East leaders.

Manager Brian Snitker does not believe Albies (hamstring) "will play in a rehab game before being activated," Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Albies has not encountered any issues since landing on the injured list a little less than a week ago, and as a result he may not need a tune-up before rejoining the big club. He is eligible to be activated by Atlanta this upcoming Friday, Aug. 25.

Albies was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left hamstring.

EDGE Analysis

Albies suffered what was originally called a hamstring cramp in Sunday's loss to the Mets, but subsequent testing has revealed a strain. It's unclear at this point how much time he might be on the shelf. Vaughn Grissom was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move, and he and Nicky Lopez could end up forming a platoon at second base while Albies is out.

Albies (hamstring) is being placed on the 10-day injured list, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Albies was held out of Monday's matchup against the Yankees due to a left hamstring injury, and Atlanta has made the decision to move him to the injured list while he recovers. Nicky Lopez could see a good chunk of the opportunities at second base in the meantime, though Vaughn Grissom is also an option, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. The team has yet to announce a corresponding move.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that Albies is undergoing more testing on his left hamstring, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Albies was originally diagnosed with a mild hamstring cramp following his departure from Sunday's series finale against the Mets, but he is still feeling sore a day later and is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Yankees. Nicky Lopez will get the start at second base as Albies is further evaluated.

Albies (hamstring) is absent from the lineup Monday versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Albies was pulled from Sunday's series finale against the Mets due to cramping in his left hamstring. It's not a serious concern, but he'll grab some rest and treatment as the NL East leaders open a three-game set against the Yankees on Monday night in Atlanta. Nicky Lopez is playing second base and batting ninth.

Albies was removed from Sunday's game against the Mets as a precautionary measure due to cramping in his left hamstring.

EDGE Analysis

Albies appeared to be running slower than usual to first base on a groundout in the top of the eighth inning, and he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the frame. He went 0-for-3 with a walk prior to his departure and should be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Yankees.

Albies went 5-for-9 with a walk, two home runs, two stolen bases, four runs scored and eight RBI in Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta scored 27 runs across both games of the twin bill and Albies was in the thick of the offensive eruption both times, homering and swiping a base in each game while driving in six runs in the matinee alone. The second baseman has hit safely in all 12 games so far in August, batting .364 (20-for-55) with four homers, four steals, 12 runs and 16 RBI to begin the month.

Albies went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

He's hit safely in all five of his games in August, going 8-for-22 (.364) in that span. Albies has tallied five extra-base hits in that span. The second baseman continues to hit well in the top half of Atlanta's order -- he's sporting a .261/.321/.508 slash line with 25 home runs, 77 RBI, 67 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 109 contests this season.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Albies took Javier Assad deep in the bottom of the second to bring Atlanta back within three runs of the Cubs and later added a stolen base after reaching on a fielder's choice, but he was left stranded. The second baseman has now hit safely in four straight contests to open the month of August, while the stolen base Saturday was the first he's recorded since July 15. Albies has also contributed eight RBI over his last 10 games to go along with seven runs scored.
