Starting pitcher Brandon Beachy has found a home, and it’s with the Dodgers, with whom he has signed a one-year deal with a club option for 2016.
Ken Rosenthal reported the news on Twitter:
Source: #Dodgers sign Brandon Beachy to 1-yr, major-league deal with club option for 16. Likely to start on DL as he recovers from 2nd TJ.

Beachy, 28, missed all of the 2014 season after having his second Tommy John surgery (his first one was in 2012), and is expected to begin the 2015 season on the disabled list.
He gives the Dodgers an extra pitching option in a rotation that already includes: Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Hyun-jin Ryu, Brandon McCarthy and Brett Anderson.
When on it, Beachy is a good one — posting a career 3.23 ERA in four seasons with the Braves, including a 5-5 mark with a 2.00 ERA in 13 starts in 2012.
He owns a 9.2 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 in his career.
Beachy will wear No. 37.
