Catching up on some outright a signments from around the league today The Angels announced this afternoon that theyve a signed infielder outright to Triple-A. Hiura was earlier this week to make room for the return of infielder from the injured list. The ninth overall pick of the 2017 draft and a former consensus top-20 prospect in the sport, Hiura impre sed with a big rookie season in 2019 where he slashed an impre sive .303/.368/.570 in 84 games with the Brewers while playing second base, though he went on to struggle badly on both sides of the ball over the next two seasons with a combined slash line of just .192/.279/.362 in 120 games. Hiura move primarily to first base headed into the 2022 season and had a decent season where he posted a 115 wRC+, but a ma sive 41.7% strikeout rate led Milwaukee to part ways with the youngster. Hiura spent all of the 2023 season in the minors but resurfaced in Anaheim this year for ten Paul Watson Jersey games, going 4-for-27 with ten strikeouts and no extra base hits as a fill-in second baseman for the Halos. The Braves announced today that theyve a signed infield outright to Triple-A. A 17th-round pick by the Cubs in the 2017 draft, Short was swapped to the Tigers in a trade that sent to Chicago during the shortened 2020 season and debuted for Detroit the following year. After struggling badly in brief cameos at the big league level in 2021 and 22, Short got a lengthy run in the majors last year and slashed a lackluster .204/.292/.339 in 110 games in a bench role for the Tigers. Hes played for three teams in 2024 since getting designated for a signment by Detroit back in November. He was and kept on their 40-man roster throughout the offseason but appeared in just ten games before being to the Red Sox, who themselves employed Short for just two games before to Atlanta. During his time with the Braves, Short demonstrated solid on-base ability but hit just .148 with minimal power, giving him an overall slash line of .148/.313/.204 in 69 trips to the plate. Short figures to remain with Atlanta as non-roster depth option going forward, though hell be eligible for minor league free agency at years end if not added back to the 40-man roster by then.
