Nationals' Zack Short: Flipped to Nationals
The Nationals acquired Short from the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Short wasn't able to make Yankees' Opening Day roster as a non-roster invitee, and he won't be on the Nationals' big-league roster, either. However, the veteran infielder should have a better chance at earning an opportunity down the line on a rebuilding Washington club.

Yankees' Zack Short: Inks minors deal with Yankees
The Yankees signed Short to a minor-league contract Dec. 12.
Short had a .671 OPS in 22 games with the Astros in 2025 and is a career .172/.271/.296 hitter across parts of five major-league seasons. The utility infielder is slated to provide some experienced depth at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Zack Short: Elects free agency
Short elected free agency Saturday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The Astros designated Short for assignment at the beginning of August after he slashed .220/.291/.380 across 56 plate appearances in the big leagues. He finished the Triple-A season with a .705 OPS over 112 games, and he should be able to rely on his defensive versatility to secure at least a minor-league deal in the offseason.

Astros' Zack Short: Remaining with Houston
Short was sent outright to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.
Short was booted from the 40-man roster Friday and will stick in the organization after failing to draw interest while on waivers. He's batting .211 with 12 home runs, 35 RBI, three stolen bases and 37 runs scored through 73 games this season for the Space Cowboys.

Astros' Zack Short: DFA'd by Houston
Short was designated for assignment by the Astros on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Jeremy Pena (ribs) is back from the injured list, and the team also acquired Carlos Correa from the Twins on Thursday. Short has been booted from the 40-man roster as a result. The infielder slashed .220/.291/.380 with two home runs, seven RBI, nine runs scored and a 4:18 BB:K across 56 plate appearances with Houston.

Astros' Zack Short: Pops homer in loss
Short went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 15-3 loss to the Athletics.
Short kept the Astros from getting shut out when he went deep off Jeffrey Springs in the fifth inning. Since the All-Star break, Short is batting .188 (3-for-16) over seven games. The infielder is up to a .243/.300/.459 slash line with two homers, seven RBI, seven runs scored, no stolen bases and two doubles over 40 plate appearances this season. He is seeing a little more than a short-side platoon role at shortstop to help cover the absence of Jeremy Pena (ribs), who began facing live pitching earlier this week and should be close to a return. Once Pena is healthy, Short could be an option to fill in at third base while Isaac Paredes (hamstring) is on the mend.

Astros' Zack Short: In Monday's lineup
Short (rib) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Short was scratched from Sunday's lineup versus the Mariners with rib soreness, but he's feeling well enough to play a day later. With Short handling shortstop Monday, Mauricio Dubon will slide over to third base for the Astros.

Astros' Zack Short: Scratched with rib soreness
Short was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to rib soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Short was hit by a pitch during Saturday's contest and will be withheld from Sunday's starting nine after initially being penciled in at shortstop. Mauricio Dubon will cover shortstop for Houston while Shay Whitcomb starts at third base.

Astros' Zack Short: First MLB homer since 2023
Short went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 loss to Texas.
Short notched his first long ball with the Astros in his 10th game with the team, tagging Nathan Eovaldi for a solo shot in the sixth inning. The round tripper was Short's first in the big leagues since 2023, as he went homerless in 88 plate appearances with three different teams during 2024. He's slashing .286/.348/.524 since being called up July 2.

Astros' Zack Short: Back on bench
Short is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Short had started at shortstop in each of the past four games, going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk, three RBI and two runs. Mauricio Dubon will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but the Astros may have room for both players in the middle infield on a fairly consistent basis until Jeremy Pena (rib) returns from the 10-day injured list.

Astros' Zack Short: Collects trio of hits
Short went 3-for-3 with a double, one RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 5-1 victory over the Dodgers.
Short garnered his second consecutive start at shortstop and made the most of it, notching his first three-hit performance since June 21, 2023 when he was a Tiger. The 30-year-old journeyman joined the Astros on July 2 after slashing .211/.356/.402 with 12 homers over 73 Triple-A games. Short will likely be in the mix for occasional appearances in the Houston infield while Jeremy Pena (rib), Brendan Rodgers (oblique) and Luis Guillorme (hamstring) all remain on the injured list.

Astros' Zack Short: Key knock in first start
Short went 1-for-2 with a double and two RBI on Saturday against the Dodgers.
Short made his debut with the Astros on July 2 and drew his first start Saturday while hitting ninth. He began the scoring for Houston with a two-RBI double in the third inning. Even with Jeremy Pena (rib) sidelined, Short isn't likely to see consistent playing time moving forward.

Astros' Zack Short: Selected to active roster
The Astros selected Short's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Short has spent the entire season in Triple-A, slashing .211/.356/.402 across 320 plate appearances. He'll now join the big-league roster to replace the injured Luis Guillorme (hamstring), though Short isn't expected to see much playing time. Yordan Alvarez was transferred to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man spot.

Astros' Zack Short: Inks NRI deal with Houston
The Astros signed Short to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Short accrued 88 plate appearances between the Mets, Red Sox and Atlanta in 2024, slashing just .129/.282/.171. He will provide utility depth in the minors for Houston.

Braves' Zack Short: Outrighted to Triple-A
Short cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Short was dropped from Atlanta's 40-man roster Thursday after he put up a .517 OPS through 69 plate appearances with the big-league squad. The 29-year-old has already switched teams twice this year after being DFA'd by the Mets and Red Sox, but he will remain within the organization this time around.

Braves' Zack Short: Booted from 40-man roster
Atlanta designated Short for assignment Thursday.
Short's opportunities in Atlanta were few and far between, and he did little with what he was given, producing just a .478 OPS in 29 games. It's possible that the 29-year-old will draw some interest on waivers due to his defensive versatility.

Braves' Zack Short: Seeing little playing time
Short is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Short picked up three consecutive starts at shortstop to begin July, but he hasn't returned to the lineup since with Orlando Arcia returning to action July 5 and avoiding a stint on the injured list due to an abscessed tooth. Expect Short's starting opportunities to be few and far between while Atlanta is at full strength in the infield.

Braves' Zack Short: In line for more work
Short went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's loss to St. Louis.
Orlando Arcia left the game in the sixth inning complaining of dizziness, and Short took over at shortstop and as the No. 9 hitter. It was his first game action since June 5, and with Arcia likely to get at least Tuesday's game off, the 29-year-old utility infielder should pick up his first start since May 25. Short's .150/.320/.200 slash line in 50 plate appearances since joining Atlanta suggests he won't be much more than a DFS punt play, however.

Braves' Zack Short: Returns to reserve role
Short remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Short is on the bench for the third game in a row and has settled into a full-time reserve role after Austin Riley put an end to his to his two-week absence Monday. While Riley missed 13 consecutive games with a left intercostal strain, Short picked up 12 starts at third base during that stretch, with Luke Williams getting the other nod.
