Kevin Millwood allowed two runs on four hits and two walks in six innings on Wednesday, improving to 3-2 in Colorado's 6-2 win over the Brewers in Milwaukee. He struck out two in his second quality start in three outings this month. The owner of a 3.68 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 29/6 K/BB ratio in 44 innings since joining the Rockies rotation, Millwood has likely ensured he'll be able to gain employment this offseason.

Kevin Millwood allowed four runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday, falling to 2-2 in Colorado's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks at home. Millwood is now the owner of a 3.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 27/4 K/BB ratio through his first 38 innings pitched in a Rockies uniform. He's a solid spot-starting option in mixed leagues when Colorado is on the road.

Kevin Millwood blanked the Padres for seven innings to win Friday. Millwood combined with Rex Brothers and Rafael Betancourt on the shutout. He's 2-1 with a 3.34 ERA for Colorado, but since his next start comes against the Reds at Coors Field, he'll be a mediocre play in NL-only leagues.

Kevin Millwood allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings as part of a no-decision against the Dodgers on Saturday. Both runs scored after Millwood was pulled in favor of Matt Belisle. All told, the veteran right-hander gave up five hits and walk while striking out two. He now has a 4.26 ERA and 15/4 K/BB ratio in 25 1/3 innings over his first four starts with the Rockies. With a start on the road next week against the Padres, he could be a decent option in NL-only leagues.

Kevin Millwood earned his first major league win in almost a year by holding the Dodgers to three earned runs over seven innings Sunday. Millwood struck out four, walked one and gave up seven hits. Now locked into the starting rotation with Juan Nicasio done for the year, Millwood is earning some viability in deeper NL-only formats. He has gone at least six innings in each of his three starts and is sporting a 4.50 ERA to go with a 1.15 WHIP.

Kevin Millwood will make his 2011 major league debut on Wednesday night against the Reds. Millwood inked a minor league contract with the Yankees at the beginning of the season but failed to make it off the farm, then had a similar experience with the Red Sox. He's found a better opportunity out in Colorado, though we can't recommend the 36-year-old veteran as a good fantasy option.

Rockies signed RHP Kevin Millwood to a minor league contract.

Red Sox released RHP Kevin Millwood. This confirms an earlier report from Maureen Mullen of CSNNE.com. Millwood, 36, has posted a 4.32 ERA and 76/31 K/BB ratio over 89 2/3 innings this year in the minors, but apparently he felt or was told he was never going to get a shot with the Red Sox. He'll either try to catch on with another organization or just shut things down for the year and sign with someone over the winter.

Maureen Mullen of CSNNE.com reports that Kevin Millwood has left the Red Sox organization. Millwood evidently cleaned out his locker after Triple-A Pawtucket's game Saturday. There's been no official word from him or the Red Sox that he's left, but it's clear he realizes at this point that he's not in their plans and would rather be in another organization or at home with his family. Millwood, 36, has posted a 4.32 ERA and 76/31 K/BB ratio over 89 2/3 innings this year in the minors.

Red Sox farm director Mike Hazen thinks Kevin Millwood is "probably going to get a shot at some point somewhere down the line this year." Millwood has just a 4.50 ERA in eight starts with Triple-A Pawtucket, but it's come along with a nifty 41/14 K/BB ratio over 44 innings. "We've seen the dependability of being able to go out there and take the ball and go through a lineup two and three times," Hazen said. "It's exactly what he's been at the major-league level and what he's starting to do down here now that he's getting settled in." The Sox picked Kyle Weiland over Millwood to start Sunday. But, with the number of injuries they're dealing with and John Lackey struggling (at least before Saturday), Millwood seems likely to get a chance at some point during the second half.
