"The Atlanta Braves have selected infielder/pitcher Luke Williams from Triple-A and placed outfielder Jake Fraley on the 10-day IL with an oblique strain."
"Williams spent most of the 2025 season on the Braves roster - appearing in 44 games, including six games on the mound - before being designated for assignment 10 days ago. That came on the heels of his own IL stint due to an oblique strain. Williams was not claimed and accepted his assignment to Triple-A."
"Fraley was a waiver claim by Atlanta on August 19th from the Cincinnati Reds and saw action in nine games with the Braves, collecting seven hits in 24 plate appearances. He can be under team control for one more season via arbitration, should the Braves opt to bring him back as a reserve outfield option in 2026. The timing of his IL trip is retroactive to September 11th, so it is possible he could be activated with a handful of games left in the season."
"As for Williams, he's been atrocious offensively, with a .382 OPS but provides the team with a pinch-running option, defensive replacement at multiple positions and a viable mop-up relief arm. He has a 1.17 WHIP in six innings pitched this season."
The Atlanta Braves recalled infielder/pitcher Luke Williams from Triple-A and placed outfielder Jake Fraley on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain, retroactive to September 11. Williams appeared in 44 games in 2025, including six appearances on the mound, was designated for assignment ten days ago, went unclaimed, and accepted assignment to Triple-A. Fraley was claimed off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds on August 19, appeared in nine games for Atlanta with seven hits in 24 plate appearances, and remains arbitration-eligible for one more season. Eli White will remain the primary reserve outfielder. Williams offers speed, defensive versatility, and mop-up relief despite a .382 OPS and a 1.17 WHIP in six innings.
