A 30-year-old right-hander, Faucher was 4-4 with a 3.28 ERA in 65 relief appearances, saving 15 games in 20 chances. He struck out 59 and walked 24 in a career-high 60 1/3 innings. Faucher earned $775,500 last year and was eligible for arbitration for the first time as a so-called “Super 2,” a player among the top 22% by service time among those with at least two but less than three years of major league service.
