Randy Wolf took a physical examination for the Dodgers today, following his agreement on the terms of a one-year contract to return to the club.
The Dodgers are expected to announce the signing once the club gets word he has passed the physical. The contract is expected to be worth in the range of $5 million.
General Manager Ned Colletti said the deal is ‘not done’ and declined further comment.
Wolf would fill the fourth spot in the Dodgers’ starting rotation, behind Chad Billingsley, Hiroki Kuroda and Clayton Kershaw. The Dodgers plan to put the fifth spot up for grabs in spring training, with Jason Schmidt, Shawn Estes, Claudio Vargas and Eric Stults among the contestants.
Wolf, 32, went 9-6 with a 4.73 ERA for the Dodgers in 2007. He split last season between San Diego and Houston, going 6-10, 4.74 in 21 starts for the Padres and 6-2, 3.57 in 12 starts for the Astros.
