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.

Hechavarria agreed Monday with Atlanta on a minor-league contract and received an invitation to MLB spring training, Chris Harris of the Mississippi Braves reports.
Hechavarria returns to the Atlanta organization after spending the previous two seasons with the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan.
