Infielder Lenny Harris agreed Thursday to a one-year, $315,000 contract with the Dodgers.

Harris, 26, hit .304 in 137 games with the Dodgers last season. Included among his 131 hits were 16 doubles, four triples and two home runs. He had 29 runs batted in and 15 stolen bases.

Harris, who platooned at third base with Mike Sharperson after Jeff Hamilton was injured early and also played second, earned $145,000 last season. Harris and Sharperson are scheduled to share time at second this year, with several people getting a chance at third, including outfielder Stan Javier.

Harris came to the Dodgers along with outfielder Kal Daniels in exchange for infielder Mariano Duncan and pitcher Tim Leary on July 18, 1989.
