The Atlanta Braves signed Aaron Harang to a one-year deal just hours after parting ways with Freddy Garcia.

"Our reports on him in September and this spring have been very good," Frank Wren said. "We just felt he was a good fit for us."

The Braves have a number of injuries to their starting rotation, creating a need for veteran depth.

Atlanta plans to feature a four-man rotation until Ervin Santana, who was signed this month, is deemed ready to pitch in a regular-season game.
