Rockies signed RHP Miguel Batista to a minor league contract, assigned him to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Batista was with the Rockies in spring training but was released when it was determined he wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster. The 42-year-old posted an 8.36 ERA over 28 innings at the Triple-A level for the Blue Jays before being released last month.

Batista was sporting an 8.36 ERA and 2.04 WHIP through 28 innings at Triple-A Buffalo. The 42-year-old right-hander may try to latch on with a new organization.

Batista inked a minor league deal with the Rockies in January but failed to crack their 25-man roster this spring. The 42-year-old right-hander will have to first pitch well at Triple-A to get a shot with Toronto.

Batista was predictably awful this spring, posting a 9.00 ERA and 2.71 WHIP over six appearances. The 42-year-old might be able to catch on with a minor league deal somewhere, but he's not going to make any sort of impact in 2013.

ESPN's Enrique Rojas reports that the Rockies have agreed to a minor league contract with Miguel Batista.

Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. The 41-year-old right-hander will receive an invitation to major league spring training as part of the deal. With as abysmal as the Rockies pitching staff was in 2012, he stands a decent chance of making the team either as a starter or reliever.

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that Miguel Batista has decided to pitch in 2013, and will make a decision soon on which of four interested teams to pitch for.

The 18-year veteran is coming off a disappointing 2012 season in which he posted a 4.61 ERA and 1.73 WHIP over 52 2/3 innings between the Mets and Braves. His veteran leadership could play well in a swingman role for teams searching for bullpen depth, but he won't be a factor in fantasy leagues.

Braves purchased the contract of RHP Miguel Batista from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Batista hasn't appeared in the majors since being released by the Mets earlier this season. He'll serve as a long man/sixth starter for the Braves with Ben Sheets (shoulder) on the disabled list.

Batista was released by the Mets this week after posting an ugly 4.82 ERA and 34/31 K/BB ratio over 46 2/3 innings. He's not worthy of a major league roster spot at this point of his career, so he'll serve as organization depth with Triple-A Gwinnett.

David Lennon of Newsday reports that Miguel Batista has signed with the Braves.

It's almost surely a minor league deal. Batista was released by the Mets after posting a 1.80 WHIP in 30 appearances with the Mets. He's unlikely to make any worthwhile appearances for Atlanta in the second half.

Mets released RHP Miguel Batista.

Batista was designated for assignment on Sunday and passed through waivers without drawing much interest from other teams. The 41-year-old had an ugly 1.80 WHIP in 30 appearances with New York.

Miguel Batista was chased for four runs over three innings in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Batista was pretty terrible, allowing five hits and three walks while striking out two. The Mets went with Batista over prospect right-hander Matt Harvey for Saturday's start, but there's a non-zero chance this was his final appearance with the team. Harvey should be up with the big club soon at the very least.

Miguel Batista will start Saturday against the Dodgers.

There was some thought that the Mets might call up prospect Matt Harvey for the outing, but he'll remain at Triple-A Buffalo. Batista has a 3.98 ERA and 1.70 WHIP through 43 innings this season.

Miguel Batista will take the place of Dillon Gee (shoulder) in the starting rotation.

Miguel Batista (back) will be activated from the disabled list Tuesday.

We previously heard Batista would be called up with Chris Young, but this confirms he'll be available in the event Young has a short start. Batista has been on the disabled list since May 20 with lower back stiffness.

Miguel Batista (back) is scheduled to make his first rehab start Tuesday at Double-A Binghamton.

Batista could be cleared to return after just one rehab outing. The veteran right-hander has been on the disabled list since May 20 with lower back stiffness.

Batista left Saturday's start with lower back stiffness, and although the Mets have labeled him as day-to-day, they could play it safe and DL him. Chris Schwinden has been summoned to Toronto and will be activated if the Mets do indeed make a roster move with Batista.

Batista has had the groin issue for about five to six days, but it didn't stop him from tossing seven shutout innings in Monday's win over the Brewers. He was wearing a wrap around his left leg after the game and is scheduled to be reevaluated Tuesday, but all signs point to him making his next scheduled start Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Miguel Batista is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Phillies.

He'll take Mike Pelfrey's spot in the rotation."One of the things we brought Miguel Batista in for was not just to be a bullpen guy, but if we needed a spot starter anytime he was the guy to do it,'' manager Terry Collins said. "We saw last year how effective he can be in that role, so we'll just wait to see how Chris Young comes along.''
