Atlanta claimed Fraley (knee) off waivers from the Reds on Tuesday.

The veteran outfielder was designated for assignment by the Reds on Sunday, which happened to come after he hyperextended his right knee in Saturday's 11-inning loss to the Brewers. The injury doesn't appear to be a serious one, and Fraley should immediately step in as Atlanta's No. 4 outfielder. He's unlikely to play frequently in Atlanta while all of Ronald Acuna, Michael Harris and Jurickson Profar are healthy.
