"The Braves have a $7M option for 2026 that includes a $4M buyout, but after missing the end of last season with an issue with his left wrist - the results of which lingered well into the 2025 season - another injury and the length of recovery for it could impact Atlanta's decision on the option. This season had been a disappointing one for Albies, who struggled for the first-half of the season before seeming to re-find his offensive form in July."
"After leaving tonight's game mid-at-bat in the third inning against the Washington Nationals, the Atlanta Braves announced that second baseman Ozzie Albies has a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. The injury not only ends Albies season but puts his future with the organization in doubt. Albies, 28, is the team's longest tenured player. A three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger, Albies has spent nine seasons with the Braves since debuting in 2017."
Ozzie Albies suffered a fractured hamate bone in his left hand after leaving tonight's game mid-at-bat in the third inning against the Washington Nationals. The injury ends his season and raises questions about his future with the Braves given a $7M 2026 option with a $4M buyout. Albies missed the end of last season with a left-wrist issue that lingered into 2025; recovery time for this injury could affect the team's option decision. Albies struggled early in 2025 but regained offensive form in July. At 28, he is the team's longest-tenured player, a three-time All-Star, and had played every game this season before tonight.
