According to SI.com's Jon Heyman, free agent Dontrelle Willis is "drawing lots of interest." Willis posted an ugly 5.00 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 75 2/3 innings this season for the Reds, but if enough teams are offering he may be able to land a major league contract. Still, the left-hander's days as an effective major league pitcher are far gone.

Dontrelle Willis picked up his first win Sunday since June of last year, holding the Pirates to three runs on three hits and two walks over six innings in a 5-4 victory over the Pirates. He struck out six and provided the winning runs himself, knocking in two with a double in the sixth inning. Willis showed no ill effects from the back injury that sidelined him recently and closed out his season on a strong note. The owner of a 5.00 ERA and 1.52 WHIP this year, Willis has probably done enough to get another minor league contract over the offseason, but it's doubtful he'll be given a roster spot.

Dontrelle Willis (back) is scheduled to start on Sunday against the Pirates. Back spasms prevented Willis from taking the mound last Sunday, but he'll be ready to go against the Pirates barring a setback. The owner of a 5.04 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 51/35 K/BB ratio in 69 2/3 innings this season, Willis has said he'd like to return to Cincinnati in 2012. If he is re-signed this offseason, it will almost certainly be without a guaranteed spot in Cincinnati's rotation.

Dontrelle Willis (back) could start for the Reds on either Saturday or Sunday. Willis was scratched from Sunday's outing and didn't feel well enough Monday to make a start, either, because of his back spasms. He's feeling better, though, and could get in one more before the season concludes. Another option is Travis Wood. "He says he feels better today," manager Dusty Baker said of Willis. "We're going to keep everybody else on and it'll probably be Dontrelle and Wood or Wood and Dontrelle. It depends on how [Willis] feels and if he can get a bullpen or something in between."

Dontrelle Willis was scratched from Sunday's start due to back spasms. He'll be replaced by Matt Maloney, who had been slated to take Johnny Cueto's spot in the rotation Monday. It's not clear at this point how long Willis might be out. We'll update his status when more is known.

Dontrelle Willis got lit up by the Cubs on Monday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and three walks in just 3 1/3 innings of a Reds loss. After allowing at least two runs in each of his first 11 first stats this season, the wheels finally came off for Willis this evening. Had he been able to go deeper into the game, he almost certainly would have issued at least five free passes for the fourth consecutive start. He's not worth owning down the stretch.

Dontrelle Willis allowed three runs on five hits and five walks in 6 2/3 innings of Cincinnati's 3-0 loss to the Phillies on Wednesday. Tonight was Willis' seventh quality outing in 10 starts since joining the Reds rotation on July 10, but he's now issued 10 walks in his past 13 2/3 innings of work. Hopefully it's not a sign the control problems that nearly ran him out of the league are beginning to resurface.

Dontrelle Willis has cleared waivers. Willis has posted an underwhelming 4.10 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in nine starts this season for the Reds, but he could eat some innings for a contender down the stretch. The Reds should be willing to shop the left-hander, who becomes a free agent this winter.

Dontrelle Willis allowed three runs over six innings as part of a no-decision in a loss to the Pirates on Saturday. Willis came back strong after leaving his last start with a sore forearm. The southpaw gave up eight hits while fanning five, walking three and hitting a batter. Though Willis is still winless, he now has a respectable 4.14 ERA and 33/17 K/BB ratio over his first eight starts. He is a viable option in NL-only leagues next week against the Nationals.

Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said Monday that Dontrelle Willis (forearm) should be able to make his next start. Willis gave up four runs on six hits over 2 2/3 innings before leaving Sunday's start against the Padres with a sore forearm. It sounds like he should be good to go this weekend against the Pirates, though we would look elsewhere in fantasy leagues.
