Ozzie Albies’ Injury Adds Uncertainty

On Monday night, the Braves made MLB history by extending their win streak to nine games. But the celebration was cut short when Ozzie Albies suffered a fractured hamate bone in his left wrist.

According to ESPN: “Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies left Monday’s game against the Washington Nationals due to a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. Albies showed discomfort in his wrist after fouling off a pitch in the third inning while batting against Washington right-hander Konnor Pilkington.”

This setback raises questions about his future with the organization, especially at a time when the Braves are already re-evaluating their roster.
