Aardsma signed a minor-league contract with the Braves on Saturday, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports. Aardsma, 33, had posted a 2.41 ERA and .176 BAA over his 18.2 innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City in the Dodgers organization before he chose to opt out of his contract last week. The Braves would appear to have a more pressing need for bullpen help at the MLB level than the Dodgers, so while Aardsma will initially be deployed at Triple-A Gwinnett, it may not be long before he's added to the active roster.
