Aaron Harang was lit up for seven runs in 3 2/3 innings by the Angels on Tuesday.
Josh Hamilton and Howie Kendrick homered off him. Harang fell to 1-5 with an 8.58 ERA. The Mariners need to make a switch here, whether it's Jeremy Bonderman, Hector Noesi or James Paxton as the replacement. Erasmo Ramirez still isn't healthy, unfortunately. May 22 - 1:09 AM

Aaron Harang - S - Mariners

Aaron Harang (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday with no issues and is in line to start on Tuesday in Anaheim.

Harang missed his last outing with some minor back stiffness, but he's alright now. The big righty holds a 7.30 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over five starts this season but does boast a 23/5 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 frames.

Aaron Harang - S - Mariners

The Mariners think Aaron Harang (back) will be ready to make his next start.

Harang was scratched from Thursday's outing due to a stiff lower back, but it appears that he's not going to need a DL stint unless he has a setback over the next few days. The big right-hander holds a 7.30 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over five starts this season.

Aaron Harang has been scratched from his start Thursday vs. the Yankees due to back stiffness.

Hector Noesi is filling in. The Mariners aren't sure yet whether Harang will need a stint on the 15-day disabled list. He has posted a hideous 7.30 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 24 2/3 innings (five starts) this season for Seattle.

Aaron Harang held the Pirates to two runs over six innings Tuesday but was tagged with the loss.

Harang allowed a single and two doubles to start off the game but was terrific after that. He gave up a total of five hits, didn't walk anyone and struck out six on the night. After really struggling in his first three starts for the M's, Harang has started to settle in the last two times out. He'll have a tough test against the Yankees in New York next week.

Aaron Harang earned his first win for the Mariners by holding the Orioles to two runs and four hits in six innings on Wednesday.

Harang, who entered with an 11.37 ERA in three starts, silenced the Orioles for five innings tonight before finally giving up two runs in the sixth. He struck out five and walked just one. Depending on how the Mariners want to line up their rotation, Harang could start either in Pittsburgh or at home against the A's next week. He might be worth using in AL-only leagues if he gets the Pirates, but he's only an option in those kinds of favorable matchups right now.

Aaron Harang was tagged for five runs in three innings by the Angels in a loss Friday.

Harang has been handed L's in all three starts for the Mariners, amassing an 11.37 ERA in the process. The Mariners aren't likely to cast him off with both Erasmo Ramirez and Danny Hultzen injured in the minors, but if those two can get healthy, one imagines Harang could exit soon thereafter.

Aaron Harang struggled mightily in a loss to the Rangers Sunday, giving up eight runs over 4 2/3 innings.

Harang labored through four-plus innings before ultimately losing the game on a grand slam to Nelson Cruz. He allowed eight hits and was pulled at 105 pitches. Harang has a 10.24 ERA in two starts since coming over from the Rockies.

Aaron Harang took a loss in his Mariners debut after allowing three runs in five innings Tuesday against the Tigers.

There's no shame in getting beaten by Miguel Cabrera, and that's what happened to Harang tonight; Cabrera had an RBI single and a two-run homer against him. At best, Harang figures to be a fringe starter in AL-only leagues. We'd be a bit more optimistic if they hadn't moved in the fences at Safeco.

Aaron Harang - S - Mariners

Aaron Harang has replaced Blake Beavan in the Mariners' starting rotation and will make his first start on Tuesday against the Tigers.

Harang was acquired from the Rockies on Thursday. The veteran right-hander had a decent bounce-back season in 2012, posting a 3.61 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 131/85 K/BB ratio over 179 2/3 innings. While the 34-year-old isn't the high-strikeout fantasy ace that he once was, he should carve out some value in AL-only and deeper mixed formats while pitching in the friendly confines of Safeco Field.

Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Aaron Harang will throw a bullpen session before the club determines whether he'll enter the rotation or the bullpen.

It would be a surprise if he isn't used as a starter with both Blake Beavan and Brandon Maurer really struggling early on. Harang posted a 3.61 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 131/85 K/BB ratio across 179 2/3 innings last season and could have a bit of AL-only value.

Mariners acquired RHP Aaron Harang from the Rockies for RHP Steven Hensley.

The Rockies wound up saving around $2.5 million by trading Ramon Hernandez to the Dodgers for Harang and then shipping Harang off to the M's. The 34-year-old right-hander is expected to join Seattle's starting rotation but he's doubtful to gain much fantasy value. He had a rough 1.40 WHIP and 131/85 K/BB ratio in 179 2/3 innings last season with the Dodgers.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Mariners are close to acquiring Aaron Harang from the Rockies.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman says a trade agreement is already in place. The Rockies picked up Harang from the Dodgers on Saturday but had planned all along to flip him to another team. The 34-year-old right-hander posted a 3.61 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 131/85 K/BB ratio across 179 2/3 innings last season for Los Angeles. It's not yet clear what his exact role will be in Seattle.

Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM reports that the Angels are not interested in trading for Aaron Harang.

Harang was acquired from the Dodgers for Ramon Hernandez on Saturday and immediately designated for assignment, so the Rockies now have a little over a week to complete a trade. While the Angels will be without Jered Weaver (elbow) for at least the next month, they are expected to move forward with Garrett Richards in the rotation. As for Harang, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported Sunday that the Red Sox, Twins, and Astros have also expressed interest in the veteran right-hander.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Red Sox, Twins, and Astros have all expressed interest in trading for Aaron Harang.

Harang was acquired from the Dodgers for Ramon Hernandez on Saturday and immediately designated for assignment. The Rockies now have 10 days to complete a deal. Harang was relegated to the bullpen to open the season and has yet to appear in a game. He won't be more than a back-end starter wherever he lands.
