One day after coming off the 60-day injured list, Braves second basemen Ozzie Albies is heading back.
Albies, who had just missed 81 games due to a broken left foot, broke his right pinkie finger in Saturday night’s 4-3 win against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The injury occurred in the fourth inning as Albies slid headfirst into second base.
Braves manager Brian Snitker said Albies will miss the remainder of the regular season, but a postseason return is possible.
“I hate it for him. My heart breaks for him,” Snitker told reporters in a postgame press conference.
