It was a busy Tuesday for the Atlanta Braves, who made a few roster moves ahead of their matchup with the New York Yankees. The first move was Ozzie Albies’ much-anticipated placement on the 10-day injured list. It was officially revealed that he strained his left hamstring, and in a corresponding move, the club called up Vaughn Grissom from Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Williams for Wall move will not be largely consequential to the Braves lineup, but it will be interesting to see which role he plays on the 40-man.
