Former Detroit Tigers infielder Zack Short has been traded to the Atlanta Braves and will soon be playing for his third big-league team in 2024.
The Boston Red Sox sent Short to Atlanta for cash considerations after he was designated for assignment earlier this week.
Short, who turns 29 next month, was claimed off waivers by New York the Mets last November when the Tigers dropped him from the roster following the 2023 season.
Short made the Mets’ Opening Day roster after a strong spring, but played only sparingly once the season began, going 1-for-9 and starting only three games.
