Beeks and the Rays agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $750,000 contract to avoid arbitration, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Beeks secured a contract for 2022 one day after making his Grapefruit League debut in what marked his first game action since he underwent Tommy John surgery in August 2020. The 28-year-old lefty has mostly worked as a multi-inning reliever or primary pitcher out of the bullpen over his three active seasons in Tampa Bay, and he'll likely fill a similar role when he's with the big club during the upcoming campaign. Beeks has two minor-league options remaining, so the Rays may be inclined to have him shake off the rust at Triple-A Durham to begin the season following a year-and-a-half-long layoff from game action.
