Carlos Zambrano allowed one (unearned) run over four innings Thursday at extended spring training.

Zambrano was also good in his first extended spring training start last week, striking out five batters over two scoreless innings. He yielded four hits and a walk on Thursday while fanning four. The right-hander could be an option for the Phils sooner than expected.

Carlos Zambrano threw two scoreless innings and had five strikeouts Saturday in extended spring training.

The Phillies' current plan calls for Zambrano to pitch in another extended spring game next week before possibly sending him to one of their minor league affiliates. He was able to throw 44 pitches Saturday and will continue to be stretched out as a starter. Zambrano is expected to be an option for the Phillies' rotation at some point this season.

Fantasy baseball is all about riding the wave. Sometimes we paddle out and just wait, and wait, and wait. Other times we start paddling and we time the wave wrong and it just rolls by. But when everything breaks right, when the wave meets the right timing, the result is one heck of a ride. [...]

Phillies signed RHP Carlos Zambrano to a minor league contract.

Zambrano recently agreed to a deal with the independent Long Island Ducks, but never reported to the club because he was confident he would be able to find a minor league deal somewhere. The 31-year-old had a mediocre 4.49 ERA and 95/75 K/BB ratio over 132 1/3 innings last season with the Marlins and will function as rotation depth.

Carlos Zambrano has yet to sign a contract with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League.

Big Z has reportedly agreed to terms with the Ducks, but he's yet to ink his name to a contract. It's possible there's a holdup because the right-hander believes he can net a minor league deal with someone. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said he would give consideration to signing Zambrano, but the club has yet to even scout him yet.

Phillies GM Ruben Amaro shot down media reports on Saturday that his team had signed veteran right-hander Carlos Zambrano, but added that they would consider signing him if he looked good.

The veteran right-hander failed to attract much interest on the free agent market over the winter, and recently signed with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League in an effort to draw the attention of MLB clubs. With the injuries to John Lannan and Roy Halladay, the Phillies could use additional depth in their rotation, making Zambrano a plausible option for them to pursue.

According to reports out of Venezuela, the Phillies could have interest in free agent right-hander Carlos Zambrano.

Zambrano failed to attract much interest on the free agent market over the Winter, and recently signed with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League in an effort to draw attention from MLB teams. With the recent injuries in the Phillies' rotation, it's plausible that Big Z could be a fit.
