PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Padres have signed left-handed pitcher Christian Friedrich to a Minor League deal with an invite to big league camp.
Friedrich, a first-round pick of the Rockies in the 2008 Draft, was in uniform for Thursday's morning workout.
Friedrich, 28, has a career 5.81 ERA in 100 games spread over three seasons with the Rockies (2012, '14-15).
In February, Friedrich was designated for assignment by the Rockies. He was then claimed by the Angels, only to be returned to Colorado when the waiver claim was reversed due to questions over his medical evaluation with the team.
