The Atlanta Braves released shortstop Jorge Mateo following their recent series against the New York Yankees. Mateo was designated for assignment last week as the Braves made room for infielder Ha-Seong Kim, who returned from a finger injury. In 67 games this season, Mateo batted.240 with four home runs and 11 RBI. His previous seasons saw struggles with batting averages under.200. While the Braves have faced injuries, they may consider bringing Mateo back on a minor-league deal for depth. Atlanta now prepares for a three-game series against the New York Mets, starting with right-hander Bryce Elder on the mound.
