The Atlanta Braves have signed infielder Jorge Mateo to a one-year contract worth $1 million following an injury to starting shortstop Ha-Seong Kim. Kim, who slipped on ice in South Korea and underwent surgery for a torn tendon in his right middle finger, faces a recovery of four to five months. Mateo provides versatile depth as the team adjusts its infield plans.
