Jorge Mateo - Gets one-year deal from Atlanta Atlanta signed Mateo to a one-year contract Monday.

Impact With Ha-Seong Kim (finger) set to miss at least the first six weeks or so of the season, Atlanta has added Mateo as a depth option at shortstop. The 30-year-old Mateo was plagued by injuries in his last two seasons with the Orioles, finishing with a lowly .177/.217/.266 batting line over 42 contests in 2025. He's healthy, now, though, and offers the ability to play second base, third base and all three outfield spots in addition to shortstop. Mauricio Dubon remains the likely Opening Day starter at shortstop for Atlanta, but Mateo will be in the mix while Kim recuperates from finger surgery.

Ha-Seong Kim - Out 4-5 months after finger surgery Kim underwent surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger Sunday and has an initial recovery timeline of 4-to-5 months.

Impact Kim inked a one-year, $20 million contract with Atlanta in December, but he'll now be unavailable for the start of the upcoming campaign after recently sustaining the injury while in South Korea. The 30-year-old was limited to 48 games for Tampa Bay and Atlanta last season due to injuries, and his 2026 is also off to an unfortunate start. Based on the initial timeline, Kim shouldn't be expected to make his season debut until at least mid-May, potentially leaving Mauricio Dubon or Nacho Alvarez to fill in at shortstop for Atlanta.
