Atlanta signed Jordan Walden to a minor league deal:

Walden posted a 3.15 ERA in 97 innings over two seasons with the Braves in 2013 and 2014, and will provide an experienced bullpen option for a club that has already added veteran starters R.A. Dickey and Bartolo Colon this week. A major factor in Walden’s decision to return to Atlanta is the team’s arm care program, according to a source.

Washington re-signed outfielder Chris Heisey to a one-year deal.
