Free agent relief pitcher Jake Walsh has signed a minor league deal with the Atlanta Braves that includes an invite to spring training. Walsh is 28 years old but has very limited major league experience. He only pitched 2/2 innings last season with the St. Louis Cardinals and allowed four earned runs, so it's hard to judge him off such a small sample size. However, he does own a career 2.69 ERA and 1.102 WHIP over six minor league seasons 237 2/3 innings as both a starter and a reliever. This is a notable transaction considering Atlanta's track record of success in developing both starters and relievers.

St. Louis Cardinals reliever Jake Walsh has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis. Outfielder Corey Dickerson was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Walsh was optioned to Triple-A back on May 21 so it didn't take long for him to rejoin the team. He's allowed four runs over 2 2/3 innings out of the Cardinals bullpen this season.
