ATLANTA (AP) -- Left-hander Jonny Venters and the Atlanta Braves agreed Friday to a non-guaranteed contract worth $2.25 million, a raise of $1 million.
The 33-year-old reliever, who's had three Tommy John surgeries, won the NL Comeback Player of the Year Award after appearing in 50 games this season for Tampa Bay and Atlanta. He had a 3.67 ERA.
Before this past season, Venters last pitched in the majors in 2012 in the NL wild-card game.
He made his season debut on April 25 with the Rays, his first start since 2012.
