ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies left Monday\u2019s game against the Washington Nationals due to a fractured hamate bone in his left hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Albies showed discomfort in his wrist after fouling off a pitch in the third inning while batting against Washington right-hander Konnor Pilkington. He stayed in the game for one more pitch before walking toward the dugout and being attended to by Atlanta’s training staff. Nick Allen finished Albies\u2019 at-bat and replaced him at second base at the start of the fourth inning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHe felt something in there that was an impingement,\u201d Braves manager Brian Snitker said after Atlanta’s 11-5 victory that extended the team’s winning streak to a season-best nine games. \u201c(Head athletic trainer) George (Poulos) said \u2018That\u2019s kind of your hamate area.’ It was (on the swing) that he felt it and then (Poulos) said \u2018Try and dry swing before you go back up there\u2019 and (Albies) said \u2018I need to shut it down.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The hamate bone is on the palm side of the hand near the pinky and ring fingers. Albies fractured his left wrist in July 2024 and missed two months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 28-year-old Albies has played in all 157 of Atlanta\u2019s games this season. He is batting .240 with 16 home runs and 74 RBIs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI hate it for him,\u201d Snitker said. “(Tuesday) will be the first game he’s missed all year. \u201cHe played a majority (of the season). (He) rallied back and had a really nice year. It’s just one of (those) tough things. It’s not an uncommon injury for hitters.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis is a different (injury),\u201d Snitker said referring to Albies’ 2024 wrist break. \u201cI’ve seen guys come back from this in a month from those things. Once the calendar turns, he’ll be able to get into his offseason routine and hitting and he’ll be ready to go by spring training.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Snitker implied that Albies will undergo surgery, although the Braves said Albies is undergoing further testing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201c(Surgery) is usually what they do when they break (the hamate) is (remove) them,” Snitker said. \u201cIt’s one of those things there that he won’t (injure) again.\u201d<\/p>\n
