Zack Short made the most of his first start with Atlanta by breaking a scoreless tie with a run-scoring double in the sixth and the Braves spoiled another strong start by Chicago rookie Shota Imanaga to beat the Cubs 2-0 on Monday night. Short, who filled in at third base while Austin Riley was held out with tightness in his left side, lined a pitch from right-hander Hayden Wesneski (2-2) into the right field corner to drive in Travis d'Arnaud, who doubled with two outs.
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.
To create roster space for J.D. Martinez, the Mets designated Zack Short for assignment before their 4-2 loss to the Cardinals on Friday . “Tough one,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “Not an easy decision because obviously who Shorty is and what he's done. He's done everything we've asked him to do.” Short made the team out of camp as a flexible, defensively stout defender without much of a track record of hitting. He went 1-for-9 in 10 games with the Mets, primarily coming off the bench and essentially serving as a second Joey Wendle. 3 Mes DFA'd Zack Short to make room for JD Martinez.
