MIAMI (AP) — Chris Paddack and the Miami Marlins finalized their $4 million, one-year contract Thursday.

The right-hander can earn an additional $500,000 in performance bonuses.

Paddack was 5-12 with a 5.35 ERA in 28 starts and five relief appearances last year for Minnesota and Detroit, which acquired him on July 28. He was 3-9 with a 4.95 ERA in 21 starts for the Twins and 2-3 with a 6.32 ERA for the Tigers.

Paddack has a 32-36 record and 4.64 ERA in 110 starts and eight relief appearances over seven seasons with San Diego (2019-21), Minnesota (2022-25) and Detroit.

To open a roster spot, Miami placed right-hander Ronny Henriquez on the 60-day injured list. He will miss the season following right elbow UCL reconstruction during the offseason.
