Walden (shoulder) agreed to a minor league contract with the Braves on Saturday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Injuries plagued Walden's time in St. Louis -- he was limited to 12 appearances in 2015 due to a biceps injury and shoulder issues kept him off the mound entirely this past season. His health remains a question mark heading into the spring, but Walden has plenty of high-leverage experience and could eventually work into the setup mix if he gets back to full strength.
