Mon Feb 3 2014 | 16:12 | Rangers ink RHP Galarraga to minors deal |
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. |

Wed Nov 27 2013 | 16:05 | Mets interested in Galarraga, Garate |
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. |

Mon Jul 22 2013 | 14:56 | Galarraga suffers forearm strain at Triple-A |
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. |

Mon Jul 15 2013 | 12:42 | Rockies acquire Armando Galarraga from Reds |
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. |

Mon Feb 25 2013 | 18:12 | Galarraga goes two scoreless in spring debut |
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. |

Sat Feb 9 2013 | 16:06 | Reds invite Galarraga to spring training |
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. |

According to Darren Wolfson of ESPN 1500, the Twins are interested in bringing aboard free agent right-hander Armando Galarraga on a minor league deal. |
Wolfson says the Twins have reached out to Galarraga and are waiting to hear back. The 30-year-old starter went 0-4 with a 6.75 ERA over five starts for the Astros in 2012, but he could compete for a spot at the back end of the Twins' season-opening rotation if he is signed. |

Astros sent RHP Armando Galarraga outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City. |

Armando Galarraga has opted to become a free agent. |
Galrarraga was designated for assignment earlier in the week by the Astros after posting a 6.75 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 17/18 K/BB ratio in 24 innings. It's unlikely that he'll draw strong interest on the open market. |

Astros designated RHP Aramando Galarraga for assignment. |
Galarraga was shelled for five runs over just 3 2/3 innings on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old righty seems doubtful to attract interest on waivers. |

Sun Aug 19 2012 | 17:49 | Armando Galarraga goes 3 2/3 in loss |
Armando Galarraga got roughed up in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks in just 3 2/3 innings. |
He struck out one, walked two and surrendered a solo home run to Aaron Hill. Galarraga is now 0-4 as an Astro, and has failed to record more than 16 outs in any of his five starts. Through 24 frames, he's sporting a 6.75 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and abysmal 17/18 K/BB ratio. Perhaps the Astros will give someone younger a shot soon. |

Fri Aug 3 2012 | 22:52 | Galarraga walks seven in loss to Braves |
Armando Galarraga struggled to find the strike zone in Friday's loss to the Braves, walking seven and allowing four runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings. |
Galarraga struck out four in the rough outing. Chipper Jones got the scoring started with a two-run double in the third, and came around to score on an RBI double from Dan Uggla. Martin Prado added an RBI double of his own in the fourth, finishing the damage. Galarraga has posted a 5.23 ERA and 9/8 K/BB ratio over his first two starts, and will look to get in the win column for the first time when he battles the Nationals at home on Wednesday. |

Galarraga will start for the Astros on Saturday night against the Pirates. He registered a pedestrain 4.12 ERA and 31/18 K/BB ratio in 43 2/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level and should be ignored in pretty much all fantasy formats. |

Armando Galarraga will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Saturday against the Pirates. |
Galarraga will take the rotation spot of Wandy Rodriguez, who was traded to the Pirates. Interestingly enough, he'll face Rodriguez on Saturday. Galarraga has a 4.12 ERA and 31/18 K/BB ratio over 43 2/3 innings in nine starts at the Triple-A level this year. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues. |

Mon May 7 2012 | 11:05 | Galarraga working out at Yankees' complex |
According to Venezuelan reporter Augusto Cardenas, Armando Galarraga is working out at the Yankees' spring training complex and may soon sign a deal with the team. |
Galarraga has struggled mightily to attract free agent interest since being released from the Orioles in early-April. There's very little risk in a minor league contract, however, and it wouldn't hurt the Yankees to add a little organizational pitching depth. Galarraga has a 4.69 career ERA in the majors and a 1.38 career WHIP. |
