PEORIA, Ariz. — Former Yankees right-handed reliever Adam Warren signed a $2.5 million, one-year contract Friday with the San Diego Padres, who hold a club option for 2020.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Padres placed left-hander Jose Castillo on the 60-day injured list with a left flexor strain.
In 47 relief appearances between the Yankees and Seattle Mariners last season, Warren went 3-2 with a 3.14 ERA.
Over parts of seven major league seasons, Warren is 26-23 with six saves and a 3.42 ERA.
He gets $2 million this year, and the Padres have a $2.
