BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today traded infielder Zack Short to the Atlanta Braves, in exchange for cash considerations.

Short, 28, was designated for assignment yesterday after being acquired by Boston from the New York Mets on May 1. The right-handed hitter has played in 12 games this season with the Mets (10 games) and the Red Sox (two games), making four starts at third base and one at second base while going 1-for-16. Originally selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 17th round of the 2016 First-Year Player Draft, the New York native has batted .169 (68-for-402) with 13 home runs and eight stolen bases in 191 career games with the Detroit Tigers (2021-23), Mets (2024), and Red Sox (2024).
