Indians sign starter Gavin Floyd to 1-year

CLEVELAND

Right-hander Gavin Floyd has signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Indians, giving him a chance to make a comeback from his latest elbow surgery.

The 31-year-old pitcher broke a bone in his elbow while throwing a curveball with Atlanta last June. He had surgery and couldn’t resume throwing until after the season.

Floyd is 72-72 career with a 4.40 ERA in 196 starts and 12 relief appearances with the Phillies, the White Sox and the Braves.

His best season was 2008, when he went 17-8 with a 3.84 ERA in 33 starts for the WhiteSox.
