Greene, whose salary was $405,000 last season, can make an additional $50,000 each for 550, 575 and 600 plate appearances.

Greene, 27, was on his way to a career year when he suffered a hand injury while batting in early August. The timing couldn't have been worse -- Greene had hit .361 in July, but a 3-for-33 skid to finish the rest of the season as he tried to play through the pain left his average for the year at .245.

His 15 homers in 121 games matched his career best, and he drove in 55 runs. His .980 fielding percentage -- a career-low nine errors in 456 total chances -- was fifth among qualifying National League shortstops meeting the 108-game minimum.

Greene suffered a sprained ligament in the middle finger of the left hand trying to check his swing against Houston on Aug. 3. At the time of the injury, he ranked first among NL shortstops in RBIs and second in homers.

A No. 1 draft pick (13th overall) out of Clemson in 2002, Greene is a .255 career hitter. All three of his Major League seasons have been interrupted by injuries -- three times to his hands, once with a fractured toe.

"I don't think these injuries were anything I could have avoided," Greene said. "They're all related to playing the game, unfortunate incidents that happened on the field. I never had any injuries like that before, in Little League, in high school, in college.

"Obviously, it's something I want to avoid in the future, and I'll do everything I can to stay healthy."

Greene came back in the final week of the season to make several key defensive plays, notably in the playoff-clinching win against the Diamondbacks on the final Saturday of the season.

Catcher Josh Bard is the only Padres player eligible for arbitration.
