The deal also includes $2 million in performance bonuses, according to the reports.

Gonzalez also spent the final month of last season with the Brewers, who acquired the two-time All-Starin an August 31 trade with the Washington Nationals.

Gonzalez signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees earlier this season but was released by New York on Monday after spending a month in the minors.

Gonzalez returns to a Milwaukee team that enters play Wednesday with a 5.34 team ERA, the worst in the National League. The Brewers are also without injured starters Freddy Peralta and Jimmy Nelson.

Gonzalez went 3-0 with a 2.13 ERA in five starts with the Brewers last season. He was 10-11 overall with a 4.21 ERA in 32 starts with Milwaukee and Washington.
