LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers tendered contracts to all 12 of their arbitration-eligible players before Friday’s deadline, reaching a contract agreement with one, reliever Yency Almonte.

The Dodgers’ other arb-eligible players were catcher Will Smith, infielder Gavin Lux, right-handers Walker Buehler, J.P. Feyereisen, Brusdar Graterol, Dustin May and Evan Phillips and left-handers Caleb Ferguson, Victor Gonzalez, Ryan Yarbrough and Alex Vesia.

Almonte, 29, was 3-2 with a 5.06 ERA in 49 appearances for the Dodgers last season, his second with the team after parts of four seasons with the Colorado Rockies. He suffered a knee injury in mid-August and spent the rest of the season on the injured list. He will make $1.9 million in 2024.Dodgers relief pitcher Yency Almonte agreed to a one-year $1.9 million contract for 2024, the team announced on Friday.

Additionally, the Dodgers signed free agent right-handers Ricky Vanasco and Eduardo Salazar.

The 25-year-old Vanasco has spent most of his career in the Texas Rangers’ system, primarily as a starter. He missed the 2020 (due to the pandemic) and 2021 (Tommy John surgery) seasons and converted to relief last season, going 1-4 with a 2.78 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 32⅓ innings spread over Double-A and Triple-A.

Vanasco was designated for assignment by the Rangers at the end of May and traded to the Dodgers – who DFA’d him a month later. Vanasco cleared waivers that time and was re-signed by the Dodgers to a minor-league deal
