The Atlanta Braves have taken swift action to address the injury to second baseman Ozzie Albies, who is expected to miss approximately eight weeks with a fractured left wrist. In response to Albies' placement on the 10-day injured list, the Braves have recalled infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. from Triple-A Gwinnett and signed veteran Whit Merrifield.
Following Sunday's 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, outfielder Eli White was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. To make room for Merrifield on the 40-man roster, outfielder Forrest Wall was designated for assignment.
