Eddie Rosario's recent tenure with the Atlanta Braves concluded with the team designating him for assignment after a lackluster performance. He had a bizarre pinch-hitting appearance followed by a pinch-running role, ultimately not producing effectively. The Braves then called up Luke Williams to take his place, despite Williams' unimpressive statistics at the major league level, with a notably low career batting value and lackluster play. Williams is expected to serve as a pinch-runner or defensive replacement rather than a serious offensive contributor.
The #Braves today selected INF Luke Williams to the major league roster and designated OF Eddie Rosario for assignment.
Williams has -0.4 fWAR and a 59 wRC+ in 315 career PAs, and that comes with him outhitting his xwOBA.
