Liles/Atlanta Braves/Getty Images)Getty ImagesThe New York Mets have claimed infielder Zack Short off waivers from the Detroit Tigers, adding infield depth as injuries continue to test the roster.The move reunites the Mets with a player who has bounced around the majors this season. Short has played for the Mets, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, and Tigers in 2024, bringing defensive versatility to a lineup seeking reliable backup options.While Short has struggled offensively at the major-league level, his ability to play multiple infield positions—primarily shortstop and second base, with over 900 innings at the position—makes him attractive for teams needing lineup flexibility. He was hitting .167 with a .304 on-base percentage in 23 games with Detroit before being designated for assignment.For a Mets team overcoming a disappointing start and dealing with key injuries, Short’s defensive acumen and positional versatility likely secured his spot on the roster despite offensive limitations.
