Red Sox trade infielder to Braves eight days after acquiring him

Zack Short is about to join his third team in less than two weeks.

The Boston Red Sox traded the 28-year-old infielder to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations. The transaction comes just eight days after the Red Sox acquired Short from the New York Mets on May 1, also in exchange for cash considerations.

Short appeared in a grand total of two games for Boston -- a May 2 loss to the San Francisco Giants and a May 5 win over the Minnesota Twins -- and went 0 for 7 with four strikeouts.
