Braves' John Danks: Inks minor-league deal with Braves

Danks signed a minor-league deal with the Braves on Monday, Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Danks sat out most of the 2016 season following a release from the White Sox in May and will now look for a second chance with the Braves. He will likely work as starter depth for a Braves team inching toward contending, but his recent track record is mediocre enough that his fantasy value is negligible. The 31-year-old hasn't posted an ERA+ above league average since 2011, a year before undergoing shoulder surgery, and he holds a career 6.6 K/9.
