Jorge Mateo went 2-for-3 with a double, three runs scored, a walk, and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Jorge Mateo provided a small but loud contribution as Atlanta ran Arizona off the field 17-2 on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Mateo not only swatted his first homer of the season in the ninth inning of this one, but it was his first hit of any over four at-bats. The versatile speedster is being utilized off the bench by the Braves and should add some steals to his ledger soon enough.
Jorge Mateo has signed a one-year major league contract with the Atlanta Braves per multiple sources. Details of the contract have not been revealed, but the Braves had an open spot on their 40-man roster so a corresponding move is not needed.
Fantasy Impact
The utility infielder has played parts of six seasons in the majors and is a career .221 hitter across 1,411 plate appearances with the Padres and Orioles. Mateo does have a little pop and above average speed as evidenced by 20 home runs and 67 stolen bases in 883 plate appearances with Baltimore between 2022 and 2023. Last season, Mateo batted just .177 with the Orioles in 83 plate appearances, striking out 30 times. However, he did steal 15 bases in just 42 games. Mateo will likely have a bench role in Atlanta and can fill in at second or short as needed.
