Rangers released RHP Armando Galarraga.
Galarraga was in minor league camp and evidently didn't make a good enough impression. It's now back to the drawing board for the 32-year-old after he spent all of last season in the minors.

Rangers signed RHP Armando Galarraga to a minor league contract.
The deal does not include an invitation to major league spring training. Galarraga, best known for his imperfect game" with the Tigers in 2010, pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level last year and will serve as organizational depth for Texas.

The Mets have expressed interest in right-hander Armando Galarraga and left-hander Victor Garate, according to Venezuelan journalist Rafael Tejera.
Galarraga, best known for his "imperfect game" with the Tigers, pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level this year. Garate, 29, spent 2013 in the Mexican League and hasn't appeared in the majors since 2009 as a member of the Nationals. They would be nothing more than minor league depth if they joined the Mets. Both pitchers also have offers to pitch overseas.

Armando Galarraga suffered a forearm strain while pitching in a game at Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Galarraga will miss at least one turn in the Colorado Springs rotation. The right-hander was acquired from the Reds earlier this month for Parker Frazier and has posted some decent numbers this year at the Triple-A level. He was nearing a shot with the Rockies.

Rockies acquired RHP Armando Galarraga from the Reds for RHP Parker Frazier.
Galarraga had posted a promising 2.98 ERA and 62/34 K/BB ratio through 84 2/3 innings (16 starts) this season for the Reds' Triple-A affiliate in Louisville, Kentucky. He will have an easier path back to the majors with the Rockies than he would've with the Reds, but that doesn't necessarily mean the 31-year-old right-hander is destined to pitch in the bigs this year. He was assigned to the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate in Colorado Springs.

Reds reassigned RHP Armando Galarraga to minor league camp.
Galarraga pitched well in camp, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over four appearances, but he never had a real shot to head north with the big club. He'll give them some rotation depth at Triple-A.

Armando Galarraga allowed just one hit over two scoreless innings Monday in a 5-2 victory over the Brewers.
Galarraga struck out two batters and walked none. He won't have a spot in the Reds' rotation when the regular season gets underway, but the 31-year-old righty could luck into a midseason call-up in the event of an injury.

Armando Galarraga has been invited to major league camp with the Reds.
Galarraga signed a minor league deal with the Reds last month, but he originally wasn't invited to big league camp. With the depth that the Reds have in their rotation, it's unlikely that Galarraga will find a spot on the Opening Day roster. It's possible that he could find work as a long reliever out of the bullpen, but he won't hold any value in fantasy leagues.

Reds sign RHP Armando Gallaraga to a minor league contract.
The deal presumably includes a spring training invite. The 30-year-old right-hander posted a 6.75 ERA over five starts with the Astros last season. He'll function as insurance for the starting rotation.
