"However, that is rarely ever the case for the Braves nowadays. Just when you think things are starting to go on the upswing, another injury occurs that throws cold water all over the positivity. This time, it was Ozzie Albies exiting the game on Monday after fracturing his hamate bone. Yes, it is in the same wrist area where he suffered a broken bone last year."
"For much of this season, it was pretty clear he was struggling with his swing and approach as he was trying to fully get back to normal from last year's injury. And now, he will have the face a similar recovery all over again. There is little doubt the injury will heal and Albies will be healthy and ready to go in Spring Training."
The Braves won their ninth straight game, led by strong performances from Michael Harris and Ronald Acuna Jr., producing optimistic momentum. Ozzie Albies exited after fracturing his hamate bone in the same wrist area injured last year, compounding his season-long struggles with swing and approach while returning from the prior injury. The injury is expected to heal, but questions remain about how long it will take Albies to regain full 2026 production after a difficult 2025. The Braves also claimed reliever Joel Payamps, re-signed Charlie Morton to finish the season, and made several roster moves.
