David Fletcher to Gwinnett is a Braves outright (UPDATED).

Ozzie Albies’ comeback to the Braves is expected to take place on Friday.

On Thursday, the Atlanta Braves declared that they have sent infielder David Fletcher to Gwinnett outright. This allows Ozzie Albies to be activated off the disabled list on Friday prior to the Cleveland Guardians series start.
If he doesn’t locate a deal that he likes, he might decide to go back. Fletcher played in five games with Atlanta, recording two hits and two RBIs while going 2-for-8 at the plate.

Albies participated in on-field drills during batting practice and ran the bases prior to Wednesday’s game against the Marlins. Although it was originally anticipated that he would return in two weeks, it now looks as though he will be prepared for action on the day he becomes available for activation. According to Brian Snitker, who stated on Wednesday, if Albies had been eligible, he may have played that evening.

When Albies was hurt, he was having a good day at the plate.In 70 plate appearances, he hit 317/.386/.492 with two home runs and a 146 wRC+.
