PHOENIX (AP) β The Arizona Diamondbacks have avoided arbitration with reliever David Hernandez, signing him to a one-year, $2 million contract.
The contract is non-guaranteed, meaning he could be released in spring training and be paid far less.
The hard-throwing right-hander missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
The Diamondbacks have four remaining arbitration-eligible players: outfielder Mark Trumbo, infielder Cliff Pennington, reliever Addison Reed and right-handed starter Jeremy Hellickson.
