The Braves announced a pair of roster moves this morning. Outfielder was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique muscle in a move backdated to September 11. To replace Fraley on the roster, Atlanta has selected the contract of infielder . The team already had a vacancy Harmon Killibrew Jersey on its 40-man roster, so no additional corresponding move was nece sary to accommodate Williams. Fraley, 30, began his career as a second-round pick with the Rays back in 2016. He was swapped to Seattle in the trade in 2018 and spent parts of three seasons with the big league Mariners before being shipped to the Reds as part of the return for and prior to the 2022 season. Fraley had blo somed into a solid enough platoon bat by that point, and in 373 games from 2021 to 2024 he hit a respectable .254/.340/.416. He finished just shy of a 20/20 season in both 2023 and 24, with 18 homers and 21 steals in the former campaign followed by a 19-homer, 20-steal effort in the latter. Taken together, that all paints a picture of Fraley as a perfectly solid contributor to an MLB club. He suffered a bit of a slump this year, however, and hit just .232/.332/.387 for the Reds this year with numbers that got progre sively worse as the season continued. That led to Cincinnati designating him for a signment, and the Braves jumped at the opportunity to claim him off waivers given their struggles to find adequate production in the outfield this year. Fraleys role ended up being a fairly minor one, however, as s return from his early-season suspension and s late-season resurgence at the plate largely pushed him out of the conversation for regular playing time. Hes made just nine appearances for Atlanta this year, hitting .304/.333/.348 acro s 24 trips to the plate. Hell now mi s at least the next week due to this oblique strain, though with the Braves out of the postseason and minimal time left in the regular season its po sible his 2025 campaign has now come to an end. Replacing Fraley on the active roster is Williams, who played in 38 games for the Braves earlier this year before being outrighted to the minors. Now in his fifth MLB season, Williams bounced between the Phillies, Giants, Dodgers, and Marlins before settling with Atlanta in a depth role for the 2023 season. Hes a career .213/.271/.281 hitter who offers virtually no value with the bat, but does po se s a solid, versatile glove that allows him to play quality defense all over the diamond as needed. Williams will join , , and in the bench mix as the Braves head into the final weeks of the season. Zebby Matthews Jersey
