Braves star Ozzie Albies is returning to the lineup as the team makes its final playoff push. Albies has been sidelined since he fractured his left wrist in July while tagging a baserunner. In preparation for his return, Albies played two games for the Gwinnett Stripers this week, notching four hits in nine at-bats.

The Atlanta Braves returned three-time All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list prior to Friday's series opener against the host Miami Marlins.

Atlanta Braves starter Charlie Morton hasn't been his usual self most of the season. But he's finding his stride at the right time.
