Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies has returned to the diamond in the form of a rehab assignment with the Gwinnett Stripers. He had a huge first outing and recorded two hits, one being a three-run home run. He logged six innings at second base.
Albies, who has been on the injured list since late July, will likely make another rehab appearance today and could rejoin the Braves as early as Friday.
