Braves Claim Pitcher Cal Quantrill, Outfielder Jake Fraley Off Waivers

The Atlanta Braves have made several roster moves to bolster their pitching and outfield depth as they navigate a challenging stretch of the season. They claimed right-handed pitcher Cal Quantrill off waivers from the Miami Marlins, taking on the remainder of his contract, which is just over $700,000. Quantrill, a former first-round draft pick, showed flashes of strong performance with the Cleveland Guardians but has struggled recently, posting a 5.50 ERA this season. Additionally, the Braves claimed outfielder Jake Fraley off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds, adding a left-handed hitter with a solid on-base percentage and speed to their roster. Fraley, who has experience as a pinch-runner and late-game defensive substitute, offers the Braves more versatility in the outfield. These moves come as the Braves look to stabilize their rotation and outfield options amid injuries and inconsistent performances.
