The Dodgers avoided arbitration with Scott Van Slyke on Thursday, re-signing the outfielder/first baseman to a one-year contract. Van Slyke will earn $1.225 million, according to Jon Heyman.

Van Slyke, 29, made $522,500 last year. He slashed .239/.317/.383 for in 2015, when a hand injury limited him to three singles and eight strikeouts in his final 20 plate appearances and knocked him out for the playoffs.

The Dodgers have four arbitration-eligible players remaining: infielder Justin Turner, pitcher Kenley Jansen, pitcher Luis Avilan and catcher Yasmani Grandal.
