The Atlanta Braves have signed utility player Jorge Mateo to a one-year contract worth $1 million, filling the vacancy on their 40-man roster. This signing follows the announcement that shortstop Ha-Seong Kim will undergo surgery for a torn tendon in his right middle finger after an accident, which will sideline him for four to five months. The Braves’ move appears to address the immediate need for infield depth due to Kim’s injury. More updates are expected.
