ATLANTA, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Right-handed pitcher Derek Lowe has reached a four-year contract with the Atlanta Braves in a pact worth a reported $60 million.

The deal is contingent on Lowe, 35, passing a physical Wednesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Last season, Lowe posted a record of 14-11 with a 3.24 ERA for the NL West Champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

He went 1-1 in three post-season starts with 12 strikeouts and three walks.

Lowe has a career record of 126-107 with a 3.75 ERA in 255 starts for the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and Dodgers.

The Braves signed right-hander Javier Vazquez earlier in the off-season.
