Pitcher Mark Hendrickson avoided arbitration Monday by reaching terms on a one-year, $2.925-million US contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Los Angeles acquired him last June 27 for catcher Dioner Navarro and pitcher Jae Seo.

Hendrickson finished with a combined 6-15 record with a 4.21 earned-run average and a complete-game shutout in 31 appearances for Tampa Bay and Los Angeles, including 25 starts.

The left-hander went 2-7 with a 4.68 ERA in 18 appearances (12 starts) for the Dodgers.

Hendrickson is 39-47 lifetime with a 4.97 ERA, five complete games and two shutouts in 140 MLB appearances (120 starts) since making his major-league debut with the Toronto Blue Jays on Aug. 6, 2002.

The former NBA player is expected to compete for a role in middle relief or as a starter in a Dodgers rotation boasting Jason Schmidt, Randy Wolf, Derek Lowe, Brad Penny and Chad Billingsley.
