Right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman and the Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a one-year contract, ESPN reported Friday.

Per the report, Graveman will have a base salary of $1.35 million and can make up to $3.3 million with performance bonuses.

Graveman, 34, didn't pitch in 2024 due to shoulder surgery. The deal with Arizona is pending a physical.

Graveman was an eighth-round draft pick by the Blue Jays in 2013 and has pitched for Toronto (2014), the Oakland Athletics (2015-18), Seattle Mariners (2020-21), Houston Astros (2021, 2023) and Chicago White Sox (2022-23).

He has a career record of 37-43 with a 3.95 ERA and 24 saves in 280 games (80 starts). He has struck out 494 batters in 652 innings.

The Diamondbacks currently have left-handers A.J. Puk and Joe Mantiply, along with righties Justin Martinez, Kevin Ginkel and Ryan Thompson on their bullpen depth chart in spring training.
