Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured right big toe, an injury he sustained after being hit by a pitch in the second inning of Monday night's game against the Astros. Despite the injury, Albies continued to play in the game but was noticeably limping afterward. Following an examination, X-rays confirmed the fracture. In response, the Braves have called up veteran infielder David Fletcher from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Albies' spot on the roster.
