Red Sox released RHP Chris Resop.

Resop posted a 4.42 ERA and 36/14 K/BB ratio in 38 2/3 innings at Triple-A Pawtucket. The 31-year-old right-handed reliever will try to latch on with a new organization.

Red Sox signed RHP Chris Resop to a minor league contract.

Resop is coming off a year where he posted a 6.00 ERA and 13/10 K/BB ratio in 18 frames, which got him non-tendered by the A's. He'll provide some Triple-A depth for the Red Sox.

Chris Resop has elected free agency.

Resop had been outrighted off Oakland's 40-man roster. The reliever was arbitration-eligible for a final time this winter, but the A's didn't have interest in tendering him a contract. He posted a 6.00 ERA and 13/10 K/BB ratio in 18 frames this season.

Athletics sent RHP Chris Resop outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

Resop was designated for assignment by Oakland last week and passed through waivers. The right-hander had a 6.00 ERA and 13/10 K/BB ratio in 18 innings with the A's.

Athletics agreed to terms with RHP Chris Resop to a one-year, $1.35 million contract.

Athletics acquired RHP Chris Resop from the Pirates in exchange for RHP Zach Thornton.

Resop, a dependable middle reliever, posted a 3.91 ERA and 46/24 K/BB ratio over 73 2/3 innings with the Pirates in 2012. He'll be a welcomed addition to an already strong A's bullpen.

Pirates and RHP Chris Resop avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $850,000 contract.

Resop was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. The 29-year-old right-hander posted a 4.82 ERA and 79/30 K/BB ratio over 69 2/3 innings last season. He'll set-up for closer Joel Hanrahan again in 2012.

Chris Resop has been moved to the long relief role.

Resop has given up nine earned runs in his past seven appearances, leading to the demotion. "We really don't have a long guy," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "For a couple innings, he's definitely capable of throwing two innings." Daniel McCutchen, who boasts a 0.53 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, will now move into a short relief role after serving as the long man.

Despite starting all 17 of his minor league games last season, Chris Resop will be in the bullpen in 2011.

Pirates president Frank Coonelly said, "we think that other players will grab the fifth spot in the rotation, and Chris gives us the best chance to win by pitching out of the bullpen." Resop was a dominant starter at Triple-A Gwinnett in 2010 before shifting to the bullpen after his August call-up to the majors. The versatile right-hander excelled in this role, too, posting a 1.89 ERA in 19 innings. He might not win many games for a team whose last winning record was in 1992, but he is expected to be a valuable middle reliever on the rebuilding Pirates.

Chris Resop returned to action on Tuesday September 28.

Chris Resop (elbow) threw an extended side session Sunday without any pain.

The expectation is that he will be available out of the bullpen Tuesday. Resop hasn't pitched since September 16 due to a tender right elbow.

Chris Resop will pitch as a reliever next season.

Resop has enjoyed some success as a starter in the minor leagues but the Bucs prefer his skill set in the bullpen. He is sidelined currently with elbow tenderness and not expected to return before the end of 2010.

GM Neal Huntington said that Chris Resop has "a little tenderness" in right elbow.

For now, rest is the only prescription. This almost surely means Resop's season is over. He pitched very well after landing in Pittsburgh in early August, boasting a 2.04 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 21 strikeouts over 17 2/3 innings.

Chris Resop was activated from the DL on Thursday August 5.

David O'Brien of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports that the Braves requested outright waivers on right-hander Chris Resop.

If Resop goes unclaimed, he can either accept a minor league assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett or become a free agent. Resop has been on the disabled list since June 16 with a strained oblique, but has recently made four rehab starts in the minors.

Chris Resop (oblique) began a rehab assignment Saturday at Double-A Mississippi.

Resop has been on the disabled list since June 16 with a strained oblique. He's scheduled to throw two innings Saturday and will make a few more rehab appearances early next week before getting clearance to rejoin the Braves. Resop allowed five runs in one appearance before the injury.

Chris Resop reported no issues following a long-toss session Tuesday.

This was the first time Resop had thrown a ball since being placed on the DL on June 16, the day after straining his left oblique. He'll have another long-toss session Wednesday and hopes to get in a bullpen by the weekend. "You can't rush it," Resop said. "If you try to come back too fast, you could be out even longer."

Braves placed RHP Chris Resop on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique.

Resop made his first appearance of the season on Tuesday night, allowing five hits and five earned runs in two innings against the Rays. He may be injured, or he may just be bad. We'll see in two weeks.

Braves recalled RHP Chris Resop from Triple-A Gwinnett.

An out-clause in Resop's contract forced the Braves' hand, though he should do just fine in the big leagues. Through 13 starts this season at Triple-A Gwinnett, the 27-year-old posted a 5-2 record, a 1.84 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP and 87 strikeouts. He will operate mainly in middle relief.

The Braves are shopping Triple-A Gwinnett's Chris Resop in advance of his June 15 contract opt-out.

There's a chance that the Braves will call up Resop and have him replace Jesse Chavez in the pen, but they could have gone that route a month ago if they wanted to. It seems as though they'd rather trade the 27-year-old, who has had an outstanding year in Gwinnett's rotation. He's 5-2 with a 1.84 ERA after pitching a one-hitter on Thursday.
