ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a one-year deal with left-hander Jacob Lindgren, who is making a comeback from Tommy John surgery.

The 23-year-old Lindgren made his major league debut with the New York Yankees in 2015, when he had a 5.14 ERA in seven games in relief before having season-ending surgery to remove bone spurs from his left elbow. The Yankees selected Lindgren out of Mississippi State in the second round of the 2014 amateur draft.

Lindgren had elbow ligament-replacement surgery in August after appearing in six games with Class A Tampa. He was released by the Yankees on Friday.

The Braves announced the deal on Sunday.
