Atlanta Braves RHP Josh Collmenter agrees to one-year deal

The Atlanta Braves and right-hander Josh Collmenter agreed on a one-year, $1.2 million contract Wednesday, avoiding salary arbitration.

The deal includes the potential for an additional $1.2 million through incentives.

Collmenter, 30, was 2-0 with a 3.70 ERA over 19 innings in three starts with Atlanta, his third team in 2016. The Braves acquired Collmenter from the Chicago Cubs for cash considerations on Sept. 14.

Collmenter went 3-0 with a 3.70 ERA in a combined 18 major league appearances between the Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks in 2016. He also made 10 appearances (nine starts) in the Chicago Cubs' farm system.

After opening the season on Arizona's disabled list, Collmenter made his season debut with the Diamondbacks on May 27 and pitched in 15 games out of the bullpen before being designated for assignment on July 30. He signed a minor league contract with the Cubs on Aug. 10 before being acquired by Atlanta.

Collmenter owns a career record of 38-33 with a 3.50 ERA in 203 appearances. In 78 career starts, he has gone 28-27 with a 3.96 ERA.
