VIERA, Fla. (AP) -Right-hander Julian Tavarez has agreed to a non-guaranteed, minor league contract with the Washington Nationals.
He’s the second player the Nationals have brought aboard this week, joining Kip Wells as possible help for the bullpen.
The 35-year-old Tavarez is 85-75 with 22 saves and a 4.45 ERA over 16 seasons with 10 clubs in the majors, working as both a starter and reliever.
He went 1-5 with a 5.10 ERA in 52 appearances for Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta in 2008.
The Nationals entered spring training with worries about their bullpen, and several relievers have struggled during Grapefruit League play.
