Rockies designated RHP Jon Garland for assignment.

Jon Garland allowed four runs in six innings to earn the win against the Reds on Wednesday.

Garland got off on the wrong foot, allowing four runs in the first inning before settling in and keeping the Reds at bay the rest of the night. In fact, after that first inning Garland allowed only one other hit over his next five innings. The win moved him to 4-6 on the year. The right-hander will take the mound again Tuesday against the Nationals.

Jon Garland was touched up for five runs in five innings Friday as part of a no-decision against the Dodgers.

Garland gave up seven hits and three walks while striking out only one batter. He has allowed exactly five runs in three straight starts while his ERA has ballooned to 5.81 for the year. We're thinking he's not long for a rotation spot.

Jon Garland surrendered five runs (two earned) on seven hits over five innings Sunday for his sixth loss of the season.

Garland has now dropped five of his last six starts. He gave up four walks and allowed a home run to Buster Posey in the second inning, but managed to escape with just two earned runs. Garland's rotation spot could be in jeopardy if he doesn't turn things around soon. In 10 starts this season, he has a 5.05 ERA and 1.61 WHIP.

Jon Garland allowed three runs over five innings as the Rockies fell to the Cubs on Wednesday.

Garland was undone by two home runs, including one hit by his counterpart Jeff Samardzija. It was the third-straight start in which Garland has gone five and given up three, a remarkable consistency but not one that yields a lot of wins. The right-hander will next take the mound against the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Jon Garland allowed three runs in five innings Friday in a loss to the Cardinals.

Garland has now allowed three runs or fewer in six out of his seven starts this season. Of course, he has a mediocre 4.83 ERA to show for it and has fanned only 22 batters in 41 innings. The veteran right-hander is doing fine as an innings-eater for Colorado, but he shouldn't be a consideration in fantasy leagues.

Jon Garland gave up three runs over six innings in his start Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Garland has pitched at least six innings in all of his starts and has been a nice surprise for the Rockies thus far. He allowed eight hits and two walks but had just four strikeouts. Garland has a 4.65 ERA and 1.39 WHIP this season.

Jon Garland gave up two runs in seven innings Thursday in an 11-3 win over the Mets.

Garland scattered six hits and didn't walk a batter. He also struck out six and induced 12 ground balls. The veteran right-hander owns a 3.32 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through his first three starts this season and has gone six innings or more in all of them. While he's not a recommended option in mixed leagues, he has been a nice surprise for the Rockies thus far.

Wednesday night's game between the Mets and Rockies has been postponed due to a Denver snowstorm.

Jon Garland was scheduled to make the start for Colorado and Jeremy Hefner was supposed to be on the bump for New York. A makeup date has not been set.

Rockies signed RHP Jon Garland.

The financial terms still aren't available, but it's a major league deal. Garland will open the season as the Rockies' fifth starter after posting a 2.25 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 12 innings this spring. Look for him to serve as a stop gap until Drew Pomeranz is ready for a spot in the major league rotation.

Jon Garland is expected to sign with the Rockies Sunday if he passes a physical.

Garland was released by the Mariners Saturday despite posting a 2.25 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 12 innings this spring. It's not clear if it will be a major or minor league deal, but it seems likely that the Rox have guaranteed him a spot in the rotation. Garland doesn't get a ton of ground balls or miss bats, so the odds are pretty good that this signing won't end well.

Mariners released RHP Jon Garland.

Garland failed to earn an Opening Day roster spot despite posting a solid 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 4/5 K/BB ratio over 12 innings this spring. He should receive interest from multiple teams now that he's opted for free agency. The Mariners have also granted Mike Jacobs his release.

While he doesn't have another deal lined up already, Jon Garland is reportedly already drawing interest from multiple teams.

Garland is expected to opt out of his deal with the Mariners now that he's been told there was no spot available for him on the roster. He'll likely find someone willing to give him a spot at the back end of their rotation, however his poor ability to record strikeouts will severely limit any fantasy value he may have.
