Jairo Labourt: Released by Tigers again
Jairo Labourt was released by the Tigers on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.The release marks the fourth time Labourt has been let go this year.

Jairo Labourt: Released by Oakland
Jairo Labourt was released by the A's on Wednesday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.Labourt had been designated for assignment by the Tigers, Reds and A's within a span of three weeks and has now been released.

Reds' Jairo Labourt: Claimed by Reds
Jairo Labourt has been claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.Labourt was designated for assignment after the Tigers signed Francisco Liriano. The 23-year-old lefty walked more batters (30) than he struck out (25) in 28 innings at Triple-A Toledo and in the majors last year. He likely was promoted too quickly -- in 44.1 innings at High-A Lakeland and Double-A Erie, he posted a very solid 58:10 K:BB. He's a potential future relief weapon, but his fantasy value is likely to be limited this year.
