The Atlanta Braves have officially outrighted utility player Luke Williams to Triple-A Gwinnett. This move comes alongside the team's signing of outfielder Alex Verdugo. Williams, 28, has contributed to the Braves over the past two seasons, mainly covering various infield positions and providing speed as a pinch-runner. However, he struggled offensively, evidenced by his low 54 wRC+. With his departure from the major league roster, Eli White and Nick Allen are anticipated to serve as the Braves' bench infielders for the upcoming season.
Williams offers the Braves defensive flexibility and above average baserunning, but he was outrighted to Triple-A after producing a 54 wRC+ at the plate.
With Williams being outrighted, it seems Eli White and Nick Allen are set to fill the infield bench positions for Opening Day.
