"Battery Power Braves Player of the Week: Ozzie Albies With 18 games remaining in the regular season, Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson have been the only two Braves to play in every game. Olson's consecutive game streak continues on - his is the 12th longest in the history of the game - but for Albies, who has had two of his past three seasons end early due to injuries, it's good seeing him take the field every day."
"But, maybe due to his wrist finally healed or just typical adjustments with progression from his regression, Albies has been Atlanta's best and most consistent offensive performer for the past month. This week, Albies produced 10 hits that included two home runs, a double, a triple, a walk and two stolen bases. His week included four multi-hit games while he paced the team in OPS with a xwOBA that was among the best in the league for the past week."
Ozzie Albies won Player of the Week for a second consecutive week following a significant offensive surge. Albies and Matt Olson are the only Braves to play every game with 18 regular-season games remaining, and Olson's streak ranks 12th all-time. Albies struggled earlier in the season but has been Atlanta's most consistent offensive performer over the past month, possibly aided by a healed wrist. He produced 10 hits this week, including two home runs, a double, a triple, a walk and two stolen bases, and recorded four multi-hit games while leading the team in OPS and strong xwOBA. He sits at 15 homers and 14 stolen bases with three weeks remaining, positioning him for a potential 20/20 season and making the team's $3M 2026 option increasingly likely given a $4M buyout.
