Veteran right-hander Brandon Morrow, who missed the last two seasons while battling injuries, will try to make a comeback in Dodger blue.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Morrow have reached an agreement on a minor-league contract, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Morrow pitched for the Dodgers in 2017, posting a 2.06 ERA with 50 strikeouts over 45 appearances as a key part of a deep bullpen. He helped the Dodgers win the NL pennant and appeared in all seven games of the 2017 World Series but allowed five earned runs in their loss to the Houston Astros.
The 36-year-old last pitched in the majors two years ago with the Chicago Cubs. Although he was effective as the Cubs' closer - crafting a 1.47 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 22 saves in 2018 - back issues limited him to 35 appearances that season. Morrow then missed all of 2019 with arm troubles.
The California native was in camp with the Cubs this year but was released in July.
For his career, Morrow owns a 3.96 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 877 strikeouts, 368 walks, and 40 saves across 12 seasons with five teams. He's pitched exclusively in relief since 2016 after beginning his career as a starter.
The Dodgers also announced Friday they've agreed to minor-league contracts with right-handers Jimmy Nelson and Brock Stewart, left-hander James Pazos, and infielder Carlos Asuaje, according to Alanna Rizzo of SportsNet LA.
