Indians sign Gavin Floyd to 1-year deal

Gavin Floyd, the oft-injured right-hander who's started just 14 games over the last two seasons, will attempt to revitalize his career with the Cleveland Indians in 2015 after agreeing to a one-year deal with the club on Tuesday.

Floyd is set to earn $4 million in base salary next season with an additional $6 million available through performance bonuses, according Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

Floyd's efforts to return from Tommy John surgery with the Atlanta Braves in 2014 started auspiciously - he crafted a 2.65 ERA over nine starts after debuting in May - but the 31-year-old suffered an olecranon fracture in his elbow in June, forcing him to the disabled list for the remainder of the season.

Floyd subsequently underwent surgery to repair his fractured elbow, and should land a spot in Cleveland's rotation barring a setback in his recovery. Over parts of 11 seasons in the majors, Floyd owns a 4.40 ERA (101 ERA+) with a 1.33 WHIP between stints with the Braves, Chicago White Sox, and Philadelphia Phillies.
