The Atlanta Braves have bolstered their roster by agreeing to a $1 million, one-year contract with free agent Jorge Mateo. The versatile player, capable of playing both outfield and infield, joins the team amidst a significant injury setback for their shortstop.

Mateo's addition provides depth and flexibility as the team prepares to play without Kim for an extended period.
