Fontenot was released by the Nationals earlier this week, but it didn't take him long to find a new home. The 33-year-old spent all of last season at Triple-A Durham, batting .264/.335/.379 with four homers and 42 RBI.

Fontenot batted .289/.343/.340 in 105 plate appearances this past season for the Phillies. It's possible that he'll be able to crack the Rays' Opening Day roster, but the 32-year-old has never been a fantasy option.

Phillies designated INF Mike Fontenot for assignment.

The 31-year-old has hit safely in each start since his call-up earlier this month, and is now batting 8-for-18 (.444). Do not expect the career .265 hitter to sustain these numbers for much longer.

Phillies purchased the contract of INF Mike Fontenot from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Fontenot, who signed a minor league deal with the Phillies last month, had a .300/.364/.420 batting line over his first 15 game with the IronPigs. The 31-year-old batted just .227/.304/.377 across 252 plate appearances with the Giants last year, so we aren't expecting much from a fantasy perspective, but he could split playing time with rookie Freddy Galvis at second base.

Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com reports that Mike Fontenot could be called up to the majors "in the coming days."

Rookie second baseman Freddy Galvis has handled himself well with the glove, but the Phillies can't live with his weak .213/.237/.340 batting line for much longer.

Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio reports that Mike Fontenot will sign a minor league contract with the Phillies.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reported earlier in the day that Fontenot was also weighing an offer from the Braves, but he has apparently opted to sign with the Fightins. Rookie Freddy Galvis is filling in for Chase Utley at second base right now, but Fontenot would provide an experienced alternative. The 31-year-old batted .277/.304/.377 across 252 plate appearances with the Giants last year.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports free agent Mike Fontenot is deciding between offers from the Phillies and Braves.

We've got a utilityman bidding war on our hands. Starting raw rookie Freddy Galvis in the absence of Chase Utley, the Phillies would seem to have the greater need, but Fontenot would also be an offensive upgrade on Jack Wilson behind rookie Tyler Pastornicky at shortstop in Atlanta. He should have a new team by the end of the weekend.

Giants released INF Mike Fontenot.

It's a little surprising given Freddy Sanchez's uncertain status, but the Giants have opted to carry Ryan Theriot and Emmanuel Burriss instead, and Brett Pill can also play second base in a pinch. Fontenot batted just .227/.304/.377 last season in his lone full year with the Giants.

San Francisco's utility infielder is now batting .231/.310/.384 through 247 plate appearances this season. Set to hit the open market at age 31 this winter, Fontenot will likely have to play for the veteran's minimum in 2012.

Mike Fontenot went 3-for-5 with a double in San Francisco's win over the Braves on Wednesday.

The multi-hit effort was his first in 11 starts. Fontenot simply doesn't play - or produce - enough to be worth a look in even deeper NL-only leagues.

Giants activated INF Mike Fontenot from the 15-day disabled list.

On Thursday it was reported that Fontenot, who has been out since the final week of May with a left groin strain, might not quite be physically ready to return. But, with the Bill Hall injury, the Giants went ahead and made the move. Fontenot should garner a few starts per week in the middle infield, assuming he's up for it.

The Giants are in a "holding pattern" with disabled INF Mike Fontenot (groin).

Although it was reported on Wednesday that Fontenot could be activated as early as Friday, he is apparently not "physically ready" to return from his groin strain. The longer Fontenot is out, the more time it gives the Giants to evaluate Bill Hall, who is a candidate to be designated for assignment upon Fontenot's activation.
