4 years agoAtlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) is set to miss his first game of the 2020 season, as manager Brian Snitker revealed Friday that Albies was dealing with a right wrist issue, although there exists the possibility that he could pinch hit later in the contest. Adeiny Hechavarria will take his spot at second base, with the scorching-hot Dansby Swanson slotting into the No. 2 spot in the order. Albies has gotten off to a slow start in 2020, going 6-for-31 (.194) at the dish with eight strikeouts and one walk. His next chance to get back into the starting nine comes Saturday against the Mets when right-hander Michael Wacha is projected to take the mound.--Jesse Borek
