Los Angeles, CA

The Braves announced that they have claimed infielder Luke Williams off waivers from the Dodgers and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. There had been no public indication that Williams lost his roster spot with the Dodgers but they evidently tried and failed to pass him through waivers in recent days. Atlanta transferred left-hander Max Fried to the 60-day injured list in order to open a 40-man roster spot for Williams. Additionally, righty Michael Soroka was also optioned to Gwinnett.

The Astros are expected to promote infielder Grae Kessinger, reports Mark Berman of Fox 26, with catcher César Salazar optioned in a corresponding move. Kessinger isn’t on the 40-man roster and will require a corresponding move to get a spot there though that could easily be accomplished by transferring someone like Luis Garcia, who is out for the year due to Tommy John surgery, to the 60-day injured list.

People lose small items or leave them behind all the time. That's why most stores, restaurants, hotels, airports, and other places have a lost and found department. Therefore, owners can claim their lost items. If they can't retrieve their small lost items, they can easily replace them by purchasing new ones. Most of the time, it doesn't cost much to replace an umbrella, scarf, or a cheap bracelet.
