Adeiny Hechavarria: Gets opportunity in indy ball

Hechavarria signed a contract Tuesday with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

A veteran of parts of nine seasons in the majors, Hechavarria will head outside of affiliated ball as he looks to keep his career going. The 33-year-old infielder most recently joined Atlanta for spring training but was released from his minor-league contract March 22.
