Felix Hernandez has been given a chance to continue his major league career.
The Atlanta Braves have signed the six All-Star selection and the 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner to a minor league contract with an invitation to big league camp.
Hernandez is coming off his worst major league season, going 1-8 with a 6.40 ERA in 15 starts for the Mariners.
The right-hander would get a $1 million, one-year contract if added to Atlanta's 40-man roster.
