Braves News: Ozzie Albies update, Kevin Kraus promoted to Braves PA announcer, more

The offseason storylines have officially come to and end as the Atlanta Braves begin play in the Grapefruit League today against the Boston Red Sox.

In one of his final stories of the offseason, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Ozzie Ablies underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder in October.

Albies has been able to perform his usual tasks on the field but out of an abundance of caution, he will DH in the league opener. He is expected to take over at second base the first week of March.
