Ozzie Moves to Eighth In Order, McCann back in Lineup

In the rubber matchup in their series versus the Cardinals, the Braves again are making significant changes to the lineup. Ozzie Albies has been moved down to the eighth spot in the order, and it seems to be a move that is warranted. Over the past two weeks, Albies has a .428 OPS, .185 wOBA, and a .069 ISO. Along with 12 strikeouts and one walk, Albies simply has been a liability at the plate. His OPS is at .153 over the past seven days. Obviously, a day or two of rest may help, but it is hard to keep his dynamic talent off the field.
