    The Atlanta Braves hope veteran starter Ben Sheets can bolster their rotation.

    After Sheets passed a physical on Sunday morning, the Braves signed the oft-injured pitcher to a minor league contract.

    The 33-year-old Sheets, who will report Wednesday to Double-A Mississippi, threw a simulated game Thursday at Georgia Tech that the Braves and four other teams attended.

    The two sides agreed to contract terms Friday.
