LOS ANGELES – Pitcher Brandon Morrow is back with the Los Angeles Dodgers, having signed a minor league contract.

Also signing Friday were pitchers Jimmy Nelson, Brock Stewart and James Pazos, and utility player Carlos Asuaje.

Morrow spent the last three seasons with the Chicago Cubs while struggling with injuries. The 36-year-old right-hander was 6-0 with a 2.06 ERA in 45 games for the Dodgers in 2017 after being promoted from Triple-A in the middle of the season. In 14 post-season relief appearances, including all seven games in the World Series, Morrow allowed runs in just three appearances.

Nelson signed with the Dodgers before last season but didn’t pitch after undergoing back surgery in July. The 31-year-old right-hander is 33-46 with a 4.22 ERA in 119 career games, all with Milwaukee.

Stewart also returns to the Dodgers after a brief stint with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 29-year-old right-hander is 6-3 with a 6.05 ERA in 46 major league appearances, including 11 starts.

Pazos made six appearances for Colorado last season.

Asuaje played for San Diego from 2016-18.

File-This March 28, 2019, file photo shows Cincinnati Reds hall of fame catcher Johnny Bench walking up to the field before an opening day baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Cincinnati. The winning bidder on over $1 million worth of memorabilia from a recent auction of Johnny Bench's personal collection is returning the items to the Hall of Fame catcher, with whom he's been friends since 1967. Businessman Alan Horwitz, a super fan of the Philadelphia 76ers who sits courtside at home games wearing his Sixth Man jersey, successfully bid for Bench's 1975 and ‘76 World Series rings last month. He also bought the catcher's 1970 and ’72 NL MVP awards, 1968 NL rookie of the year award, 1969 All-Star Game bat, and several of Bench's 10 Gold Glove awards. (AP Photo/Gary Landers, File)
