Reds released LHP Matt Maloney.

Maloney had just been signed from the independent leagues barely over a week ago, but he's given his walking papers after putting up a 16.20 ERA in two appearances with Triple-A Louisville. The lefty will attempt to catch on elsewhere.

Reds signed LHP Matt Maloney to a minor league contract.

The 30-year-old hurler had been pitching for Somerset in the Independent Atlantic League, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 19/7 K/BB ratio in 29 innings. He'll function as bullpen depth in the minor leagues for the Reds.

Red Sox signed LHP Matt Maloney to a minor league contract.

Maloney had Tommy John surgery last July, so he won't appear in any games until the second half. The southpaw allowed 10 runs over 11 innings for the Twins last season.

His season is obviously over, and he'll struggle to make it back to full health before the All-Star break next year. Maloney made nine appearances (11 innings) with the Twins before being designated for assignment. The 28-year-old right-hander will continue to serve as organizational depth when healthy.

Maloney revealed the news himself on Twitter. "My season is officially over," he tweeted. "Gotta have tommy john surgery. Gonna be a lengthy recovery, but I'll be back stronger then ever." Maloney, who allowed 10 runs over 11 innings earlier this season for the Twins, will be sidelined until around midseason next year.

Twins sent Matt Maloney outright to Triple-A Rochester.

Maloney cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. He posted a 8.18 ERA in nine appearances with the Twins and will accept a role as organizational depth.

Twins designated LHP Matt Maloney for assignment.

Maloney posted a brutal 8.18 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 11 innings out of the Twins bullpen. The 28-year-old left-hander seems likely to pass through waivers and accept an organizational depth role at Triple-A Rochester.

Matt Maloney returned to action on Saturday May 5.

Matt Maloney struck out three in two scoreless innings of relief Wednesday against the Tigers.

Having thrown 9 1/3 scoreless innings and struck out 13 batters, Maloney has made a strong bid for a spot in Minnesota's bullpen. Keep an eye on him; he's not nearly this much of a strikeout pitcher, but his major weakness -- a tendency to give up long flies -- won't hurt him nearly as much in Target Field as it used to in Cincinnati.

Twins claimed LHP Matt Maloney off waivers from the Reds.

This confirms what Maloney tweeted earlier in the day Monday. The 27-year-old left-hander posted a 2.99 ERA in 81 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season, but has a 5.40 career ERA in 80 major league innings and isn't exactly a swing-and-miss type. He'll try to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster during spring training.

Making a spot start in place of the injured Dontrelle Willis, Matt Maloney was blasted for seven runs -- six earned -- on nine hits over just 1 2/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

Maloney had been slated to start Monday, so he shouldn't have been totally unprepared. He was certainly totally worthless, though. The left-hander served up a pair of homers in the first inning and also gave up two doubles before getting yanked. We'll have to see if this showing changes Reds manager Dusty Baker's mind about Maloney replacing Johnny Cueto in the rotation or if he'll give someone like Travis Wood a shot.

Matt Maloney will replace the injured Johnny Cueto (strained lat) in the starting rotation next Monday against the Astros.

Maloney, one of the Reds' September call-ups, allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits over two innings in a relief appearance against the Rockies on Saturday. The 27-year-old southpaw pitched well in the minors this season, but he doesn't come recommended in fantasy leagues, even with the favorable matchup.

Reds recalled LHP Matt Maloney from Triple-A Louisville.

Maloney made six appearances with the Reds before landing on the disabled list with an oblique injury in late-May. The 27-year-old left-hander has pitched well since returning from the injury, posting a 2.12 ERA and 32/6 K/BB ratio over 51 innings with the Bats. He figures to pitch in long relief down the stretch.

Reds activated LHP Matt Maloney from the 60-day disabled list; optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.

Maloney was originally placed on the disabled list in May with a strained left oblique. The 27-year-old southpaw has pitched very well during his rehab assignment, posting a 2.25 ERA and 24/4 K/BB ratio over 32 innings. He should join the Reds when rosters expand in September.

Matt Maloney (rib) has begun throwing off flat ground and will throw from the mound Wednesday.

Maloney is on the 60-day disabled list and isn't eligible to be activated until late July. Once he is activated, he'll likely go back to Triple-A Louisville.

Reds placed LHP Matt Maloney on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 24, with an oblique injury.

Maloney was unavailable to pitch in Wednesday's extra-inning marathon against the Phillies and now we know why. The southpaw leaves behind a 7.20 ERA and 12/4 K/BB ratio over 15 innings with the big club this season. He'll likely need to miss a few weeks.

Reds recalled LHP Matt Maloney from Triple-A Louisville.

Maloney was sent back down to the minors after posting an ugly 8.49 ERA over five appearances in April. It's not clear where the Reds plan to use him, though they could slot him in the bullpen as a lefty reliever and move Sam LeCure back into the starting rotation.

Reds optioned LHP Matt Maloney to Triple-A Louisville.

Maloney made a spot start for the Reds Friday after Edinson Volquez was scratched following the rain delay. He threw 74 pitches over two innings and wasn't going to be available for a couple days, so the Reds chose to call up Carlos Fisher for bullpen help.

Matt Maloney went six up, six down in his start Sunday as the Reds beat the Indians 7-6.

Maloney would be a legitimate rotation candidate on a lot of teams, but he's simply battling for a bullpen spot in Cincinnati. Facing nothing but regulars, he struck out two while making quick work of his two innings today.
