Free agent right-hander Jhoulys Chacin has agreed to a one-year Major League deal with the Padres pending a physical, according to a report by the San Diego Union-Tribune on Saturday.
The club has not confirmed the report.
Chacin started the 2016 season with the Braves before being traded to the Angels in May. In 34 appearances between the two teams, 22 of them starts, Chacin went 6-8 with a 4.81 ERA and 119 strikeouts in 144 innings.
Chacin pitched well at the end of the season for the Angels, posting a 0.75 ERA in his final four starts against the Astros (twice), Rangers and Mariners.
