What happened: ESPN's Alexa Philippou reported the agreement after DeWanna Bonner entered free agency. The move follows a contract buyout on Aug. 24.
Why it matters: The timing gives Atlanta a late-season addition without a full-season salary commitment. Bonner can be incorporated into the rotation before the postseason.
By the numbers: The reported $116,000 salary represents the prorated maximum for the remainder of the season.
What to watch: Formal completion of the signing and Bonner's place in Atlanta's rotation are the next developments to watch.
