The Braves have released infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. Mateo, 31, signed with Atlanta in January on a one-year deal with a $1MM guarantee. Kim came off the IL in May and Mateo hung around in a bench role. When Kim returned from the IL last week, Mateo got bumped off the roster. Once he was designated for assignment, a release was the most likely outcome for Mateo.
