The Braves activated him off the 60-day injured list on Friday night, but 24 hours later, he broke his pinky.
The injury occurred when he was sliding into second base in the fourth inning - he was replaced by Vaughn Grissom.
Albies was played in his 64th game on Saturday, and although he has missed lots of time, he has not played to his two-time All Star resume.

The 25-year-old is putting up career lows in just about every category, playing to a slash line of just .244/.288/.407.
The Braves have been practically unstoppable since June 1 despite an injured, and bad, Albies. Since the start of June, they are 66-28 and have erased a 10.5-game deficit in the NL East behind the New York Mets.

The Braves won the World Series last year without Ronald Acuna Jr., who is a far superior player to Albies, who has two Silver Slugger Awards under his belt.
