Haren has exercised his player option to return to the Dodgers for next year, the team's official site reports. Haren recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, but he should be ready to take part in the Dodgers' spring training. He posted a 4.02 ERA with a WHIP of 1.177 over 186 innings this season, will likely keep him in his current role of a starting pitcher behind the Dodgers two stars.
