Ozzie Albies, All-Star second baseman for the Braves, placed on injured list with broken toe after being hit by pitch.

The Atlanta Braves made the decision to place All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies on the injured list after he suffered a broken big toe on his right foot during a game against the Houston Astros. The injury occurred when Astros pitcher Spencer Arrighetti threw an inside curveball that hit Albies’ right foot, causing him to fall to the ground.

Despite the injury, Albies remained in the game and even helped the Braves secure a 6-1 win. However, he was placed on the 10-day injured list the following day after it was confirmed that he had a fractured toe. Albies admitted that he didn’t realize the extent of his injury at first and thought he just had a deep bone bruise.

The X-ray revealed a visible crack in his toe, and Albies is now focused on healing quickly so he can return to the field as soon as possible. The Braves have not provided a timeline for his recovery, but they called up infielder David Fletcher to take his place on the roster.

Albies, a three-time All-Star, had an impressive season last year with 33 home runs, 109 RBI, and 13 stolen bases. So far this season, he has been off to a strong start with two home runs, 14 RBI, and two stolen bases in 15 games. Despite the setback, Albies is determined to recover and return to playing at the high level he is known for.
