A source says the Braves have signed SS Adeiny Hechavarria. Camargo and Duvall have both been optioned to Gwinnett. Bryse Wilson has been recalled. — Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) August 16, 2019

Atlanta has struggled to adequately fill its shortstop vacancy with Dansby Swanson injured, and today signed Hechavarria in an effort to mitigate the defensive blunders that have been so costly in recent days. Hechavarria was released by the Mets earlier this week after batting just .204/.252/.359 in 142 at-bats this season, but has historically been a solid defensive shortstop.

To make room for Hechavarria, the club demoted Johan Camargo to Triple-A Gwinnett. The 25-year-old had battled issues at the plate throughout the season and was a liability at shortstop in place of Swanson. In addition to demoting Camargo, the Braves sent down outfielder Adam Duvall and recalled right-handed pitcher Bryse Wilson.

UPDATE - The Braves have officially announced the addition of Adeiny Hechavarria. To make room on the 40-man roster, Atlanta designated right-hander Wes Parsons for assignment.
