"He was called back up in early May and spent over three months on the active roster, but without much playing time. He got into 44 games but only stepped to the plate 33 times, mostly being used as a pinch runner or defensive replacement, in addition to some mop-up work on the mound. He stole five bases but slashed just .133/.182/.200 when he did get to hold the bat."
"He landed on the injured list in late August due to an oblique strain. Shortly after being reinstated, he was designated for assignment to open a roster spot. He could have elected free agency this week but will seemingly stay with Gwinnett. According to the log, his outright actually occurred on September 6th. Since he hasn't elected free agency in the intervening four days, it seems fair to conclude he won't do so."
"If he's not added back to the roster by the end of the season, he'll have another chance to elect free agency at that time. He has just a .213/.271/.281 line in his big league career but has a decent Triple-A slash of .257/.339/.418 going back to the start of 2022. He can steal a few bases and has experience at every position on the diamond apart from catcher."
Luke Williams was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett after clearing waivers following a designation for assignment. He exhausted his final option in 2024 and was outrighted in March 2025 before the season. He was recalled in early May and spent over three months on the active roster but logged only 33 plate appearances across 44 games, primarily as a pinch runner or defensive replacement, and also made some mop-up pitching appearances. Williams missed time with an oblique strain in late August, was reinstated, then designated for assignment and outrighted on September 6. His MLB line is .213/.271/.281, with a stronger Triple-A mark of .257/.339/.418 since 2022.
