The Atlanta Braved claimed outfielder Jake Fraley off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday and recalled right-hander Dane Dunning from Triple-A Gwinnett.

A change of scenery could benefit him. Fraley is a solid defender with a plus-one outs above average. He made a spectacular play in Cleveland on a diving catch to preserve a complete-game shutout from Andrew Abbott on June 10. Fraley joins an outfield with Jurickson Profar, Michael Harris II, Eli White, and Ronald Acuña Jr.

The Braves announced that they have claimed outfielder Jake Fraley off waivers from the Reds. Cincinnati designated him for assignment a couple of days ago. Atlanta has multiple 40-man vacancies.

The Brewers clinched a 13th consecutive winning series against the Cincinnati Reds who haven't won a series in the rivalry since August 2022.
