The Nationals, continuing a massive overhaul of their bullpen, have reached agreement on a one-year contract with free-agent right-hander Tyler Walker, according to major-league sources.

The deal, pending a physical, will make Walker the fourth addition to the Nationals’ bullpen this offseason, joining right-handers Matt Capps and Brian Bruney and lefty Eddie Guardado.

Walker, who turns 34 on May 15, went 2-1 with a 3.06 ERA in 35 1/3 innings with the Phillies last season after getting released by the Mariners in spring training. He also pitched 19 1/3 innings at Class AAA.
