Despite logging two just starts in the major leagues over the last two seasons, oft-injured right-hander Brandon Beachy landed a one-year deal with the Dodgers on Wednesday, re-signing with Los Angeles for a reported $1.5 million, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.

The deal also allows Beachy to earn up to an additional $2.75 million in incentives, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Since 2012, Beachy has throw just 119 innings at the MLB level, missing much of the last four years after undergoing a pair of Tommy John surgeries. In February, however, he received a minor-league deal from the Dodgers - less than a year after having his ulnar collateral ligament replaced for the second time - and proceeded to fashion a 3.64 ERA over 47 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City after returning from the disabled list in June.

The 29-year-old stumbled in two starts with Los Angeles, managing a 7.88 ERA while allowing 10 hits and six walks in eight innings, but owns a 3.36 ERA (116 ERA+) over parts of five seasons in the majors since debuting with the Atlanta Braves in 2010.

Beachy will provide depth in 2016 for a reconstructed rotation that may or may not feature Kenta Maeda. Though the club reportedly agreed to an eight-year deal with the Japanese right-hander last week, health concerns over Maeda's right elbow have reportedly delayed an official announcement, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.
