Braves Star Makes Virtually Unprecedented Return From.

Albies has made a remarkably swift return, spending just the mandatory ten days on the injured list before rejoining the Braves. Despite being ready earlier in the week, he had to adhere to the ten-day rule for position players.

This return is notably fast compared to similar injuries suffered by other MLB players. For instance, Rob Refsnyder of the Red Sox was out for 21 days with a broken pinkie toe, while Nick Senzel of the Reds missed 14 days after surgery on a similar toe.

However, Senzel’s case involved offseason surgery, making it less comparable. Jake Fraley of the Reds had a fracture similar to Albies’ but took 28 days to return. Albies’ quick comeback is exceptional given these precedents.

He’s set to resume his position in the lineup tonight after batting impressively before his injury.

Additionally, Atlanta’s preparation for his return involved sending David Fletcher to AAA Gwinnett, though contrary to previous rumors, he won’t be opting out of his contract due to a previously undisclosed consent agreement.
