The Daily Chop: Ozzie Albies returns, Johan Camargo’s future and more

The Atlanta Braves got a key piece of their lineup back Wednesday with the return of Ozzie Albies who had been on the injured list for more than a month. Albies didn’t waste any time making an impact launching a home run in Atlanta’s 11-run second inning Wednesday night. To make room on the roster, the Braves optioned Johan Camargo to the alternate training site. Camargo began the season in competition for the third base job with Austin Riley. While they both struggled initially, Riley has made strides of late. That never really materialized for Camargo who saw the bulk of playing time at second while Albies was out.
