Free agent right-hander Julio Teheran signed with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old Teheran, who spent time with the Orioles in spring training, agreed to a minor league deal. He will report to Triple-A Norfolk.

A two-time All-Star, Teheran could help Baltimore replace injured starters Tyler Wells and John Means. Means underwent season-ending surgery on Monday, and Wells is set to do the same.

Teheran made one start this season for the New York Mets on April 8 against the Atlanta Braves and allowed four runs on six hits in 2 2/3 innings in a game the Mets won 8-7.

He is 81-82 with a 3.85 ERA in 255 career games (248 starts) over 13 seasons with the Braves (2011-19), Los Angeles Angels (2020), Detroit Tigers (2021), Milwaukee Brewers (2023) and Mets.
