According to a report by MLB.com's Mark Bowman, the Atlanta Braves are set to promote infield prospect Nacho Alvarez for his major league debut. With yet another player headed to the injured list, the Braves are looking to Alvarez for his skills at second base.

The main reason for Alvarez's promotion is to fill in for Ozzie Albies, who suffered a left wrist injury in Sunday's game. Albies left the game in the ninth inning after jamming his wrist while attempting to tag a runner. X-rays revealed a fracture, and he is expected to be sidelined for approximately eight weeks.

Alvarez, who primarily played shortstop, has shown great athleticism and instincts that should aid in his transition to second base. Starting his season at Double A, Alvarez has impressed with a .265/.381/.312 slash line and a 115 wRC+ in 202 plate appearances. After his promotion to Triple A Gwinnett, he has continued to shine at the plate, boasting an impressive .342/.425/.586 line with seven home runs and a 159 wRC+.

Although duplicating his offensive production from Triple A may be challenging, Alvarez is the Braves' best option at this point and is expected to receive regular playing time moving forward. This situation is reminiscent of when Vaughn Grissom made his major league debut in 2021 as a replacement for the injured Albies at second base.

The Braves have high hopes for Alvarez and believe he has the potential to make an impact at the major league level. As he takes the field for his debut, fans will be eager to see how he performs and if he can contribute to the team's success during Albies' absence.

It remains to be seen if Alvarez can deliver on the big stage, but with his skillset and the confidence shown by the Braves organization, there is optimism surrounding his first foray into Major League Baseball.
