2 years agoAtlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Albies will take the first game of the weekend series against Colorado off. Orlando Arcia is getting the start at the keystone instead and is batting seventh against Rockies right-hander Chad Kuhl. Albies has been great in the last two weeks, slashing .298/.322/.404 with no homers, seven RBI and 12 runs scored in 59 plate appearances. Overall, he's hitting .251/.298/.401 with six homers, 22 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases in 52 games for Atlanta. Arcia doesn't have much power, but he has gone 14-for-44 (.318) in 15 games played as a reserve for the Braves in 2022.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
