Humber signed with the Kia Tigers in the Korean Baseball Organization, Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News reports.

Humber spent all of 2014 with Triple-A Sacramento in the Athletics' system, posting a 3.65 ERA and 1.348 WHIP. He wasn't able to work his way back to the majors, and has struggled to find success in the big leagues since his perfect game in 2012, so he'll play overseas rather than try to continue his career in the minors.

Phil Humber was hit around on Tuesday against the Athletics, surrendering four runs while recording only one out.

Humber allowed a walk, hit a batter, and allowed two hits including a three-run home run. The right-hander is hoping to make the team as a swing arm but hasn't had a great start to the Cactus League, hurting his chances to make the 25-man roster.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin indicated Saturday that Phil Humber could be utilized in a swing role during the 2014 season.

The 30-year-old has been a disaster the past few seasons, but has the ability to start and relieve, and could make the team out of spring training as a potential long man in the bullpen. If not, he'll likely head to Triple-A where he'll represent additional rotation depth.

Athletics signed RHP Phil Humber to a minor league contract.

The 30-year-old right-hander spent the 2013 season with the Astros, compiling a horrendous 0-8 record, 7.90 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 36/20 K/BB ratio over 54 2/3 innings. He's just two seasons removed from a very effective season in the White Sox rotation, so perhaps the A's feel like they can resurrect his career. He'll likely begin the 2014 season at Triple-A Sacramento.

Astros purchased the contract of RHP Philip Humber from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Humber has done a nice job in relief over the past few weeks at the Triple-A level and will try to add some stability to the Houston bullpen. Wesley Wright was traded through waivers to the Rays on Monday afternoon.

Astros sent RHP Philip Humber outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Humber cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. It's not known whether he'll join Triple-A Oklahoma City or declare free agency.

Astros designated RHP Philip Humber for assignment.

Humber was a disaster in the rotation for the 'Stros, and his fate was sealed after he gave up five runs over 2/3 of an inning in relief on Saturday. Overall, he posted a 9.59 ERA and 2.02 WHIP with Houston. Despite the struggles, he'll have no trouble catching on somewhere else. It will just probably be on a minor league deal.

Philip Humber has been demoted to the bullpen.

Humber had a horrific 8.82 ERA and 1.93 WHIP through seven starts. He will presumably serve as a long reliever. Dallas Keuchel is taking the vacant rotation spot.

Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said he and manager Bo Porter have discussed the possibility of removing Philip Humber from the rotation.

Humber has taken a loss in all seven starts this season and sports an 8.82 ERA and 1.93 WHIP. "That's really a decision Bo needs to make, and I'm sure he'll make it at the appropriate time," Luhnow said. "We believe Humber is a Major League pitcher and can add value to our team. For now, no decision has been made about any different roles on the pitching side at this point."

Phil Humber was shelled for eight runs over four innings in a loss Sunday to the Tigers.

Humber gave up three home runs, including a two-run shot to Prince Fielder in the first inning. He's now lost seven straight games to open the season and has a 8.82 ERA. It's hard to believe that Humber still has a rotation spot at this point. He'll likely be moved to the bullpen if he continues to struggle.

Phil Humber allowed four runs over six innings as the Astros lost to the Yankees on Tuesday.

Humber probably got off light, as he surrendered nine hits and two walks on the evening. He's now 0-6 on the year with a 7.58 ERA. His next start comes Sunday against the Tigers, but the Astros are the only team he should be starting for these days.

Astros manager Bo Porter said Friday that Philip Humber will remain in the starting rotation.

Humber had a 2.89 ERA through his first three starts, but he has been knocked around for 15 runs in five innings over his last two starts, bringing his ERA up to 7.99 for the year. It's not like the Astros have many great alternatives, so they'll stick with him for now. However, he's mostly irrelevant in fantasy leagues.

Philip Humber was pounded for seven runs in 4 2/3 innings by the Red Sox in a loss Thursday.

Humber has lost all five of his starts this season, though he had a fine 2.89 ERA after the first three. It's only in the last two that he's been lit up, so his rotation spot is safe for now.

Philip Humber recorded only one out before being removed from Saturday's game against the Indians.

The Tribe ripped him for eight earned runs on eight hits and a walk. Humber was pretty solid in his first three starts this season but it all came apart on Saturday night. The 30-year-old righty is not fantasy-relevant.

Phil Humber gave up two runs over seven innings in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

It's the second consecutive game Humber has posted a quality start but finished with a loss. He walked one, struck out four, and allowed seven hits before being removed with 92 pitches. Humber should continue to have value as a back-end starter in AL-only leagues.

Philip Humber posted a quality start but suffered a loss Monday, allowing three runs over six frames against the Mariners.

He walked one and gave up just five hits, only one of which went for extra bases, but that was enough as the M's held down the Astros' feeble offense. Humber has pitched pretty well in both of his starts but is now 0-2. He'll try for his first win this weekend in Anaheim.

Philip Humber allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Rangers.

So now you know why we didn't project any Astros starters to reach double figures in wins this year. Humber looked good this spring and he did a nice job against a fine offense today, but given his difficult schedule and likely continued lack of bullpen and run support, he's probably never going to have much fantasy value.

Astros manager Bo Porter hinted on Tuesday that Philip Humber had all but secured a spot in the Opening Day rotation.

Porter noted that Humber came into camp competing for a job, and has done everything they've asked him to do, including pitch well. The 30-year-old owns a sparkling 1.29 ERA and 0.64 WHIP through 14 innings this spring, but is unlikely to be an impact player in fantasy leagues.

After coming out of the pen, Philip Humber allowed one hit over five scoreless innings Tuesday in the Astros' 9-4 defeat of the Marlins.

With the wind blowing out to left, the game's other eight pitchers combined to give up six homers today, making Humber's outing a bit more impressive. With a 1.29 ERA in 14 innings, he should have a rotation spot just about clinched now.

Philip Humber blanked the Nationals for four innings in the Astros' 4-2 victory Thursday.

He allowed one hit, walked one and struck out one. Humber was a pretty good bet to crack the Astros' rotation even before his strong start to the spring. He's allowed two runs in nine innings.
