Former Angels right-hander Michael Kohn reached agreement Thursday with the Atlanta Braves on a one-year, minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training with the major league club.
Kohn spent the past two years with the Angels and posted a 5-6 record with five saves in 88 games covering four seasons.
The 28-year-old was released by the Angels in September and signed with the Tampa Bay Rays, who dropped him when he refused a minor league assignment.
In 25 appearances last year for the Angels, Kohn went 2-1 with a 3.04 ERA.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery and missing the 2012 season, Kohn returned in 2013 to pitch in a career-high 63 games and post a 3.74 ERA.
The Braves also announced the hiring of former San Diego Padres executive Chad MacDonald as a special assistant to the general manager.
