The Milwaukee Brewers signed veteran pitcher Livan Hernandez to a one-year contract on Friday and designated pitcher Juan Perez for assignment.
The 37-year-old right-hander pitched in 18 games out of the bullpen for Atlanta this season and went 1-1 with a 4.94 earned run average before being designated for assignment by the Braves on June 15.
Since coming into the league with Florida in 1996, he has gone 175-177 over 493 games, 474 of which were starts. Milwaukee will be the ninth different franchise Hernandez has played for over his 17-year career.

The Brewers also activated shortstop Cesar Izturis from the 15-day disabled list Friday and designated infielder Edwin Maysonet for assignment from the 25-man roster.
Izturis has been sidelined since May 26 with a strained left hamstring and was batting just .216 with one home run and five RBI over 31 games.
