Williams will officially remain in the Atlanta organization after being designated for assignment Thursday. The 29-year-old utility man has been a liability at the plate in both MLB and Triple-A this year, though his versatility could become valuable if Atlanta's depth is tested down the stretch.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to rejoin big club?
SSAtlanta Braves  AAA
July 21, 2024
Ozzie Albies is headed to the injured list due to a wrist injury, per David O'Brien of The Athletic, and Williams should be in the mix to fill Atlanta's open roster spot.
Analysis
Williams was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in early July but remains on the 40-man roster, so he's a logical candidate to be called up. The 27-year-old has been up in the majors for a couple stretches this season but received just 12 plate appearances. Even if he ends up seeing a good chunk of playing time at second base while Albies is out, Williams' career OPS of .567 in the majors shouldn't move the needle for fantasy managers.
