Braves DFA Jorge Mateo as Kim Returns
Braves released Jorge Mateo after designating him for assignment to clear space for Ha-Seong Kim, ending his season with the club after contributing as a speed-and-defense option at shortstop. With Kim back from the IL and infield depth rebalanced by Jim Jarvis and Mauricio Dubon, Mateo becomes a free agent while Atlanta weighs its roster moves going forward.
