Braves place outfielder Jake Fraley on injured list with oblique injury and recall Luke Williams

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves placed outfielder Jake Fraley on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique muscle before Sunday’s game against the Houston Astros.

The move was made retroactive to Thursday.

The Braves added infielder Luke Williams to the major league roster in a corresponding move.

Fraley has hit .241 with six homers with Cincinnati and Atlanta this season, including .304 in nine games with the Braves.

Williams, a utility player and pinch-runner, has hit .133 with five stolen bases in 38 games with Atlanta.
