Fri Apr 18 2014 | 22:42 | Harang throws seven no-hit innings vs. Mets |
Aaron Harang threw seven no-hit innings in a win over the Mets on Friday. |
Harang was pulled after throwing 121 pitches. Six walks cost him a chance to finish off the no-hit bid. The Mets finally got a hit when David Wright singled off Luis Avilan with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. Some questioned the Braves' decision to release Freddy Garcia and sign Harang at the end of spring training, but things have worked out brilliantly for the Braves so far. Through four starts, the 35-year-old has a 0.70 ERA and 22/12 K/BB ratio over 25 2/3 innings. He'll try to keep his surprising resurgence alive next week against the Marlins at home. |

Sun Apr 13 2014 | 16:51 | Harang solid again, Braves trounce Nationals |
Aaron Harang hurled six innings of one-run ball in the Braves' 10-2 defeat of the Nationals on Sunday. |
Harang got 10 runs of support from the Atlanta offense -- six of which were piled on in the first two innings -- and simply cruised, yielding just five hits and a walk over his six frames. He struck out five batters, and now boasts a 0.96 ERA and 17/6 K/BB ratio over his first 18 2/3 innings this season. The fun probably won't last, but Harang is a solid streamer at the moment in all standard fantasy leagues. He's scheduled to face the Mets at pitcher-friendly Citi Field next time out. |

Wed Apr 2 2014 | 16:12 | Harang flirts with no-no in Braves' debut |
Aaron Harang took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his Braves' debut Wednesday, tossing 6 2/3 scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Brewers. |
Harang had yielded just one walk in the first six frames before Logan Schafer singled up the middle to lead off the seventh. The veteran right-hander wound up allowing two hits on the day while recording three strikeouts. Harang held a 5.40 ERA over 26 starts last season but did have a pair of shutouts, so he's capable of outings like this when he's on. The reality is that he'll probably be off more than on. Harang gets the Mets next week. |

Thu Mar 27 2014 | 16:41 | Aaron Harang gives up six runs to Tigers |
Making his Braves debut, Aaron Harang was tagged for six runs in 5 2/3 innings Thursday in a loss to the Tigers. |
Miguel Cabrera's three-run homer was the big blow. Harang projects as a better stopgap for the Braves than Freddy Garcia, but ideally, he won't be needed after Mike Minor and Gavin Floyd come off the DL. The Braves are hoping to have both available by the end of April. |

Mon Mar 24 2014 | 20:24 | Braves make Aaron Harang deal official |
Braves signed RHP Aaron Harang to a one-year contract. |
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal was the first to report a deal would happen. It's a major league contract, as Harang will hold down a rotation spot for now until other Braves' pitchers get healthy, at which point he'll likely slide into a long relief role. The veteran right-hander held a 5.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 113/40 K/BB ratio over 143 1/3 innings last season for the Mariners and Mets. |

Mon Mar 24 2014 | 19:15 | Rosenthal: Braves to sign Aaron Harang |
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Braves will sign Aaron Harang. |
The Braves have evidently decided that Harang would be a better fit than Freddy Garcia. The big right-hander posted a 2.00 ERA over four outings with the Indians this spring before being released earlier Monday, but it obviously didn't take long for him to land on his feet. He should hold a spot in Atlanta's rotation at least until Mike Minor (shoulder) is ready. |

Mon Mar 24 2014 | 17:16 | Braves interested in RHP Aaron Harang |
Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports that the Braves are interested in free agent right-hander Aaron Harang. |
Harang was given his release by the Indians on Monday after he was informed that he was not going to be on the Opening Day roster. The 35-year-old right-hander had a 5.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 113/40 K/BB ratio over 143 1/3 innings last season between the Mariners and Mets. It's hard to believe he'd much much of an upgrade over Freddy Garcia, who the Braves released Monday. |

Indians released RHP Aaron Harang. |
Harang asked to be cut Monday after the Indians informed him that he would not be on the Opening Day roster. The 35-year-old right-hander posted a 2.00 ERA in four outings this spring in the Cactus League and should be able to catch on with a new team rather quickly. |

Sun Mar 23 2014 | 13:00 | Harang told he won't make Opening Day roster |
The Indians have told Aaron Harang that he won't make the Opening Day roster. |
Harang was battling with a slew of other starters, including Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer, for the fifth starter job this spring. Harang has the ability to opt out of his contract by Monday, or he can accept an assignment to the minors and receive a $100,000 bonus. He had a decent spring, so he may take his chances at finding a better landing spot elsewhere. |

Aaron Harang delivered another strong performance in Sunday's win over the Giants, allowing just one run on four hits over his four innings of work. |
The 35-year-old right-hander walked one and punched out three. He's making a decent case for inclusion in the Tribe's Opening Day rotation, posting a 2.00 ERA and 6/2 K/BB ratio through his first nine innings. |

Thu Mar 6 2014 | 17:52 | Harang tosses two scoreless vs. Cubs |
Aaron Harang held the Cubs scoreless in two innings on Thursday. |
Harang allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out two. The veteran right-hander hopes to contribute out of the rotation immediately but will likely start the season in the minors and serve as rotation depth. |

Sun Mar 2 2014 | 21:48 | Aaron Harang fares decently in Indians debut |
Aaron Harang fared decently in his Cactus League debut with the Indians on Sunday, surrendering one run on one hit in two innings of work against the Mariners. |
The veteran right-hander is in camp as a non-roster invitee where he's hoping to catch on as the fifth starter in the Opening Day rotation. His days of being relevant in fantasy leagues have long since passed. |

Wed Feb 26 2014 | 18:40 | Aaron Harang tosses a scoreless frame |
Aaron Harang held the Reds scoreless in his only inning of work as the Indians lost 8-3 on Wednesday. |
Harang allowed one hit and struck out one in his only inning of work in the second frame. The Indians signed Harang to a minor league deal in the middle of February, hoping he can provide them with some starting rotation depth. The right-hander had a rough go of things last year with the Mets and Mariners and isn't likely to break camp with the Indians. |

Sat Feb 15 2014 | 12:50 | Harang signs minor league deal with Indians |
Indians signed RHP Aaron Harang to a minor league contract. |
The veteran right-hander is already in camp with his new squad. The 35-year-old had a brutal 2013 season, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 113/40 K/BB ratio over 143 1/3 innings with the Mariners and Mets. Even if he manages to make the team, his fantasy value is minimal. |

Sat Sep 28 2013 | 21:18 | Harang fans seven Brewers in no-decision |
Aaron Harang pitched well in a no-decision against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing just one run and racking up seven strikeouts in his six innings of work. |
Harang surrendered five hits and a pair of walks in the game. The only blemish on his evening was a solo homer off the bat of Carlos Gomez in the fourth inning. The 35-year-old struggled through 26 starts between the Mariners and Mets this season, compiling a 5-12 record, 5.40 ERA and 113/40 K/BB ratio in 143 1/3 innings. Heading into free agency this offseason, Harang could struggle to find a Major League deal, and may have to settle for a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. |

Wed Sep 18 2013 | 22:26 | Harang fans eight in no-decision vs. Giants |
Aaron Harang allowed four runs -- three earned -- while striking out eight over five innings against the Giants on Wednesday. |
Harang has now, strangely, struck out 18 batters over his first 11 innings as a Met. Like his first start, though, it wasn't all pretty, as he gave up three earned runs, including a home run. Unlike his first start, Harang avoided taking the loss as the Mets came back to win in their last at-bat. We don't recommend rolling with the right-hander when he visits the Reds next week. |

Thu Sep 12 2013 | 17:10 | Harang notches 10 strikeouts in loss to Nats |
Making his first start with the Mets, Aaron Harang struck out 10 batters over six innings in a loss to the Nationals on Thursday. |
Harang was victimized by the home run ball, as three solo home runs were enough to put him on the losing side. The veteran right-hander is mostly around to eat innings down the stretch, but he should be relevant in NL-only leagues. |

Mon Sep 9 2013 | 16:26 | Harang to start Thursday against Nationals |
Aaron Harang will make his Mets' debut on Thursday against the Nationals. |
Originally scheduled to start in one of Saturday's doubleheader games against the Marlins, Harang has been moved up to a less appetizing matchup. A desperate NL-only owner may have talked himself into starting Harang against Miami's MLB-worst (by far) offense, but those rogue thoughts should now be bludgeoned. Harang posted a 5.76 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 87/28 K/BB ratio over 120 1/3 innings with the Mariners earlier this year. His career is just about over. |

Mets recalled RHP Aaron Harang from Triple-A Las Vegas. |
Harang, who was signed last week after being released by the Mariners, will make his Mets debut when he starts one game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins. While a return to the National League should help, Harang still shouldn't be trusted in mixed leagues. |

Aaron Harang, Mike Baxter and Juan Centeno are expected to be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to join the Mets on Monday. |
