Relief pitcher
Mychal Givens has officially been released by the Baltimore Orioles. Now 33, Givens has been hurt most of the year and ineffective when on the mound. He has been a good high-leverage reliever in the past and could be scooped up by another team after he cleared waivers and was given his release.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher
Mychal Givens (shoulder) began a new rehab assignment Monday, pitching one scoreless inning with one hit allowed and two strikeouts in the Rookie-level Florida Complex league. It was Givens' first action since the end of June, as his previous rehab assignment was halted because he had been feeling discomfort in his injured right shoulder. The 33-year-old has only pitched four big-league innings this season, amassing a poor 11.25 ERA. However, he has served as a reliable high-leverage reliever throughout his career and the O's would gladly welcome him back to bolster their bullpen.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher
Mychal Givens (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. The 33-year-old has appeared in only six games this season, compiling a horrendous 11.25 ERA. Unfortunately, he recently suffered a setback in rehab, so the move isn't surprising. At any rate, there likely aren't many fantasy managers losing sleep over this one, considering he wasn't on many rosters, to begin with. In a corresponding move, the O's selected the contract of
Chris Vallimont.

Baltimore Orioles reliever
Mychal Givens (shoulder) experienced soreness in his right shoulder during his rehab assignment. However, manager Brandon Hyde stated that there is a "low level of concern." The 33-year-old has appeared in only six games this season, amassing a miserable 11.25 ERA. He already spent time on the injured list with a knee issue, and his most recent ailment has kept him on the shelf since June 2, meaning his fantasy value can't get any lower. Givens will see team doctors and take things from there, although he'll surely be out longer than anticipated.
