MIAMI (AP) — Second baseman Ozzie Albies returned from a broken left wrist Friday and was held hitless in the Atlanta Braves’ 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins.

Albies was activated from the 10-day injured list for the final 10 days of the Braves’ playoff berth pursuit. The switch hitter batted right-handed only and was 0 for 4.

“We know what he can do,” manager Brian Snitker said after the game. “It’s still good to see him in that lineup, I’ll tell you that.”

Albies had been sidelined since fracturing his left wrist in a July 21 loss to St. Louis. The three-time All-Star got hurt trying to catch a throw when Michael Siani stole second in the ninth inning. Siani slid into Albies as the infielder reached for the ball, bending back his glove hand at an awkward angle.

“He brings so much heart and soul to our game and the team,” Snitker said. “Who he is, how he plays, it’s hard to replace that. If you play the game the way Ozzie does, you’re going to play it right. Having him in there is just a huge spark for our club.”

Albies, who was hitting .255 with eight home runs and 46 RBIs before the injury, was second in the Braves order Friday, with Michael Harris II in the leadoff spot. Snitker said that was to get more speed at the top of the lineup.
