Rays Sign Jorge Mateo to Major League Contract

The Tampa Bay Rays have signed Jorge Mateo, a utility infielder, to a major league contract after he was released by the Atlanta Braves last week.

This signing comes as the Rays look to bolster their infield depth, particularly after placing Ben Williamson on the injured list due to a serious right hamstring strain that may affect his availability for the remainder of the season.

To accommodate Mateo on the 40-man roster, the Rays will need to make a corresponding move, likely involving Carson Williams, who was called up from Triple-A to fill in for Williamson.
