Braves lose All-Star Albies with fractured big toe

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured big toe on his right foot, it was announced Tuesday.

Albies was hit by a pitch in the second inning by Houston Astros rookie Spencer Arrighetti on Monday but continued playing in the 6-1 victory.

In a related move, the Braves called up David Fletcher from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Albies, a three-time All-Star, is hitting .317 with two home runs in 15 games.
