Instead of joining the team on their current road trip, Albies stayed in Atlanta to focus on his recovery. Although Albies has started baseball activities again, manager Brian Snitker mentioned that the second baseman is still not close to starting a rehab assignment. Initial assessments suggested that Albies was healing faster than anticipated, raising hopes for a possible return in early September. However, if he doesn’t begin his rehab assignment within the next week, he probably won’t be back until the latter part of the month.
