Mark Redman

7/20/2006

Redman's six-game winning streak was snapped in the Royals' 1-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. The left-hander allowed just one run and struck out nine over eight innings, but was outdueled by Boston's Josh Beckett.

7/3/2006

Kansas City's Redman was selected to his first All-Star team on Sunday as a starting pitcher for the American League. Redman is 5-4 with a 5.59 ERA this season.

6/5/2006

Redman got his first win in 17 starts on Sunday against the Seattle Mariners. The Kansas City Royals' southpaw pitched 5 2-3 innings against the Mariners, giving up four runs and eight hits. He is 1-4 this season in eight starts with a 6.80 ERA.

4/16/2006

Redman was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list to start Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. The Kansas City left-hander, who had been out with a left knee injury, made two minor league rehab starts at Double-A Wichita and allowed two runs and six hits in 10 innings.

3/23/2006

Royals team officials say Redman is ahead of schedule in his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery. The 32-year-old left-hander told The Kansas City Star that he expects to be ready when the Royals need a fifth starter for the first time on April 14, but the team officials believe a return later in April is more likely.

3/17/2006

Redman, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on March 6, isn't certain to be ready by April 14, the date the Kansas City Royals would need a fifth starter for the first time. The Royals are preparing to have other options, such as right-hander Mike Wood.

3/7/2006

Redman underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Monday to fix a lateral cartilage tear. The Kansas City Star is reporting that the Royals' left-hander is likely to miss four to six weeks. He will re-evaluated next week, and more should be known about his pending return at that time.

3/6/2006

Redman, who experienced swelling in his left knee after a two-inning start on Thursday, has returned to Kansas City to have the knee examined by Royals team physician Steve Joyce. The Royals' left-hander was expected to start on Monday, but the swelling has not subsided.

12/7/2005

The Pittsburgh Pirates have traded Redman to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor league pitcher Jonah Bayliss and a player to be named later. The left-hander, who turns 32 in January, struggled last season, going 5-15 with a 4.90 ERA and two complete games in 30 starts. Redman is slated to earn $4.5 million in 2006.

11/3/2005

On Wednesday, Redman exercised his $4.5 million option to return to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2006. The team had declined its $4.95 option in October. The 31-year-old left-hander was 5-15 with a 4.90 ERA in 30 starts in 2005.

9/13/2005

Redman suffered a fractured left index finger during a bunt attempt against Mark Mulder of the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. The Pirates' lefthander worked two more innings before giving way to a pinch-hitter because he couldn't grip the ball properly.

8/5/2005

Redman received treatment for tightness in his upper back and neck prior to Thursday's meeting with the San Diego Padres, and he took the mound despite feeling less than 100 percent. It probably wasn't a good idea, however, as the Pirates' lefthander surrendered six earned runs on seven hits in just 2.1 innings. Redman indicated that the ailment is minor, and he should be ready for his next start.

7/25/2005

Going into Sunday's meeting with Colorado, Redman had lost his last six starts, surrendering four or more runs in each outing and failing to pitch more than six innings. But the Pirates' lefthander got back into a groove, silencing the Rockies' bats, allowing just six hits over eight shutout innings, striking out five and walking one. With the victory, Redman improved to 5-10 on the season.

5/15/2005

Five days after throwing a complete game in which he earned the loss, Pirates starter Mark Redman tossed his first shutout of the season, beating the Brewers, 2-0. Redman only faced three batters over the minimum while striking out five and walking none. It was Redman's second win of the season, which dropped his ERA to 2.44.

Redman has looked great all year, going at least six innings in all eight of his starts. Redman has yet to give up more than three earned runs in any one of his starts.

5/10/2005

Despite posting his first complete game of the season and ninth of his major league career, Redman was the hard-luck loser in Monday's pitchers duel against Brett Tomko and the San Francisco Giants. The Pirates' lefthander allowed just two runs on six hits, striking out one and walking two over eight innings of work.

Redman dropped to 1-3 in seven starts this season, but actually saw his ERA improve from 3.05 to 2.91. He has been the Pirates' most consistent pitcher this year, but hasn't received the run support needed to post many victories.

4/14/2005

Redman was able to remain on the mound in Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers after taking a liner off his right knee in the sixth inning. Despite some minor soreness, the Pirates' lefthander has reported no problems over the past couple of days, and barring any setbacks, he will start against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, as scheduled.

Redman struggled in spring training, posting a 7.04 ERA. He has turned things around in his two regular-season starts, going 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA, striking out eight and walking just one in 12 innings of work.

4/8/2005

After posting an ugly 7.04 ERA in spring training, Redman got back on track in his regular-season debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates, allowing just four hits over six shutout innings in Thursday's meeting with the San Diego Padres. The lefthander, who was acquired from the Oakland A's during the offseason, struck out three batters and walked one.

Redman is on his fifth different team in the last five seasons. With the A's in 2004, he went 11-12 with a 4.71 ERA and two complete games in 32 starts.
