Atlanta Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman is reporting that the Braves have signed shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria.
The New York Mets waived Hechavarria on Tuesday and he became a free agent after going unclaimed. Reportedly, the Mets designated Hechavarria because he was due to receive a $1 million roster bonus.
Hechavarria, 30, batted .204/.252/.359 with five homers, seven doubles, 18 RBIs, and a 62 wRC+ over 151 plate appearances for New York this season.
In corresponding moves, the Braves optioned Johan Camargo and Adam Duvall to Triple-A Gwinnett and Bryse Wilson has been recalled.
