<p>Acuña is out of the Braves lineup for the third straight game. </p> <p id="OD77BN">Ronald Acuña Jr. is out of the lineup for the third straight game, but <a href="https://www.talkingchop.com/">Atlanta Braves</a> manager Brian Snitker insists that he is not concerned. Acuña missed the final two games of the road trip with lingering soreness in his surgically repaired knee. He came in for treatment during Monday’s off day and is feeling better according to Snitker who added that he would be in the lineup if the playoffs started today. </p>

<p id="82qd6D">Acuña’s knee has been an off and on thing for most of the season. He has played essentially every day of late, but has been seen limping at times in the outfield and on the base paths. Acuña’s importance to the team goes without saying and the Braves are right to play it safe with him as we transition to the final month of the regular season. </p>
<p id="Ax4hqE"><strong>Ozzie Albies to begin a rehab assignment Thursday</strong></p>
<p id="dAqhDQ">Snitker also confirmed that <a href="https://twitter.com/grantmcauley/status/1564712029637775360">Ozzie Albies will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday</a>. He didn’t specify where Albies would be headed, but Rome or Gwinnett seem to be the most likely destinations. Albies has been out since June 14 after suffering a fracture in his foot that required surgery. </p>

<p>Albies has been on the injured list since June 14 due to a fractured foot. </p> <p id="8fPOlU">The <a href="https://www.talkingchop.com/">Atlanta Braves</a> are close to getting one of their key players back from injury. Brian Snitker told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Justin Toscano Sunday that Ozzie Albies <a href="https://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-braves/ronald-acuna-says-he-has-had-some-pretty-intense-knee-pain-last-few-days/CEYX6TSVORFFVBUQLGRVGV666M/">could begin a rehab assignment by the middle of next week</a>. Albies suffered a fractured left foot during an at-bat on June 13. He was placed on the 60-day injured list the next day and underwent surgery two days later. </p>
<p id="bP3FpG">Albies has steadily been progressing through baseball activities over the last few weeks and traveled with the team on their current road trip. He has been working out on the field and taking batting practice. Albies was hitting .244/.289/.405 with eight home runs and an 89 wRC+ in 263 plate appearances at the time of the injury. </p>
<p id="ZAcIvo">Albies will be the latest Braves player to begin a rehab assignment. Infielder Orlando Arcia, catcher Chadwick Tromp, joined pitchers Darren O’Day and Mike Soroka in the last couple of days at Gwinnett. Major League rosters will expand to 28 on September 1 and teams will be allowed to add one pitcher and one position player. </p>

<p id="FRWGTc">There is still no word for when Albies might be ready to begin a rehab assignment, but things are continuing to move in the right direction. Barring any setbacks, Albies still appears to be on track for a return sometime in September. Albies has been out since June 13 when he suffered a broken bone in his foot during an at-bat against the <a href="https://www.federalbaseball.com/">Washington Nationals</a>. </p>
<h3 id="fodd2s"><strong>Thursday starter still TBD</strong></h3>
<p id="rNmAme">The Braves still haven’t announced their starter for Thursday’s series finale against the <a href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/">Mets</a>. Brian Snitker said that they will announce their play following Wednesday’s game. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reports that Max Fried is a candidate to start opposite of Jacob deGrom. </p>

<p id="OtYpBV">Fried is currently on the 7-Day injured list for a concussion that he suffered during his last start in New York on August 6. Kyle Wright, who hasn’t pitched since August 10 in Boston due to a sore arm, would be another option to make Thursday’s start. </p>

Dr. Robert Anderson performed the surgery in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Braves have still yet to release a public timeline for his possible return. </p>

<p id="tqBBGQ">Albies suffered the injury during an at-bat in the third inning of Monday’s win over the Nationals. He crumpled to the ground and then limped back to the dugout area. X-rays later revealed a fracture in his left foot. The Braves placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday and selected the contract of veteran infielder Phil Gosselin to take his place on the active roster. </p>
<p id="uKDa5b">Orlando Arcia started in place of Albies Tuesday and had two hits including a home run. Arcia will likely see the bulk of playing time at second base going forward. </p>

<p id="dKLC69">Albies suffered a fracture in his left foot in Monday’s win in Washington. A timetable hasn’t yet been announced but going on the 60-day means that he will miss at least the next two months. </p>
<p id="q51oTV">It appeared that Gosselin might secure a spot on the roster during the spring but was instead sent to Gwinnett at the end of camp. He has appeared in 49 games with the Stripers and was hitting .297/.358/.473 with a 120 wRC+. He made his major league debut with Atlanta way back in 2013 and is a .261/.314/.362 hitter for his career in over 1,100 plate appearances at the major league level. Orlando Arcia is expected to see the bulk of playing time in place of Albies, but Gosselin can add depth in several positions. </p>
