LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers have reached agreement on a one-year contract with reliever Chris Hatcher, avoiding arbitration.
Hatcher's signing leaves five arbitration-eligible Dodgers unsigned -- Kenley Jansen, Yasmani Grandal, Justin Turner, Scott Van Slyke and Luis Avilan.
Hatcher gets a raise from his $522,500 salary last season to $1.065 million after going 3-5 with a 3.69 ERA and four saves in 2015.
Acquired from the Miami Marlins as part of the Dodgers' multi-player deal with them in December 2014, Hatcher got off to a rocky start and spent two months on the DL with an oblique injury.
