Ozzie Albies (wrist) batting eighth for Braves in return
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against right-hander Pablo Lopez and the Miami Marlins.
Albies will replace Adeiny Hechavarria at second base and bat eighth after missing over a month with a bone contusion in his right wrist. He was hitting just .159/.196/.273 in 11 games before the injury.
numberFire's models expect Albies to score 7.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. His salary is $2,500. Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Braves have an implied total of 4.79 runs.
