Mat Latos pitches into ninth in no-decision | 05/16/2013 10:47 PM
News
Mat Latos pitched 8 1/3 innings of two-run ball in a no-decision against the Marlins on Thursday.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
Starting the ninth with a 2-1 lead, Latos gave up a one-out triple to Adeiny Hechavarria and was pulled in favor of Aroldis Chapman. Chapman went on to give up a triple of his own to take his first blown save, but he preserved the tie from there and got the win in relief. It was Latos' fifth no-decision in nine starts this season. The other four were all wins, and he still hasn't taken a loss since last Aug. 24. |

Latos allows seven runs but gets fourth win | 05/11/2013 7:38 PM
News
Mat Latos surrendered seven runs -- six earned -- over six innings but the Reds beat the Brewers on Saturday.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
Latos gave up nine hits -- including two homers -- while issuing three walks. But the Cincinnati offense bailed him out. The right-hander was handed his fourth victory and will carry a 4-0 record, 3.04 ERA and 1.27 WHIP into his next scheduled outing against the Phillies. He should have a much easier time navigating that lineup. |

Mat Latos dealing with right hip tightness | 04/30/2013 8:23 PM
News
Mat Latos is nursing some tightness in his right hip.
Reds.mlb.com
Impact
Latos had to exit Monday's start a tad early due to the ailment. The Reds don't think he'll need to miss a start, but he'll be monitored over the next few days. "He'll get an extra day before he has to throw on the side," pitching coach Bryan Price said. "It'll be a good indicator on where he's at. He's had a little bit of hamstring and calf tightness that he's worked through. If this is an issue, we'll handle it as needed. At this point in time, no one is even thinking twice about him missing a start or being limited in any way." |

Mat Latos goes six scoreless for victory | 04/29/2013 11:40 PM
News
Mat Latos blanked the Cardinals for six innings to earn a win in a 2-1 game on Monday night.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
Jonathan Broxton allowed a run in the eighth, but the Reds held on from there to pull into a virtual tie with the Cardinals in the NL Central (Cincinnati is 15-12, while St. Louis is 14-11). Latos has pitched 13 scoreless innings in his last two starts, lowering his ERA to 1.83. |

Mat Latos gets first victory for Reds | 04/24/2013 5:03 PM
News
Mat Latos blanked the Cubs for seven innings to pick up his first win in a 1-0 game Wednesday.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
Latos had gotten four straight no-decisions to start the year. Since coming over from the Padres, he's made 38 starts as a member of the Reds and gone 15-4 with 19 no-decisions. Excluding his one from the postseason, he hasn't taken a loss since last Aug. 24 against St. Louis. |

Mat Latos solid in no-decision | 04/08/2013 8:15 PM
News
Mat Latos allowed four runs -- one earned -- over six innings in Monday's 13-4 win over the Cardinals.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
He yielded just four hits and one walk while striking out five. Shin-Soo Choo's horrible defense in center field didn't help Latos, as he misplayed a pair of balls that led to three unearned runs. It was a second straight solid outing for the right-hander, though, as he now has a 2.84 ERA and 1.03 WHIP early on. He'll get the Pirates over the weekend. |
|
Mat Latos a mixed bag in first start | 04/03/2013 10:34 PM
News
Mat Latos allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings against the Angels on Wednesday.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
Latos struck out eight Angels batters but gave up seven hits in the game. A year after going 14-4 with a 3.48 ERA, Latos should be even better for the Reds in 2013. He's not an ace, but he's a solid No. 2 in fantasy leagues. |

Mat Latos labors through Thursday start | 03/28/2013 7:20 PM
News
Mat Latos labored through three innings in his final tune-up start, allowing five runs on nine hits and a walk against the Royals.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
Latos did record five strikeouts, but two of the nine base knocks he gave up went over the fence. Most importantly, though, is that his ankle wasn't an issue. Latos finishes Cactus League play with a 5.49 ERA, but he punched out 21 batters over 19 2/3 frames. |
|
X-rays on Mat Latos' ankle come back clean | 03/24/2013 12:26 PM
News
X-rays on Mat Latos's left ankle came back negative.
MLBlogs.com
Impact
Latos was hit by a comebacker during Saturday's start and had to leave early. He's still in some pain but expects to make his next scheduled Cactus League start. "I better be able to make my next start. I'm not one to sit out," Latos said. |
|
Latos leaves game after being hit with liner | 03/23/2013 5:52 PM
News
Mat Latos left in the sixth inning of his start against the Rangers Saturday after being hit in the right shin by a line drive.
Mark Sheldon on Twitter
Impact
Latos exited the field under his own power, so the move was likely precautionary on the part of the Reds. The 25-year-old is expected to play a big part in the team's success in 2013, so there's little reason to take risks with his health a week from Opening Day. |

Mat Latos continues impressive spring | 03/17/2013 7:30 PM
News
Mat Latos was credited with three runs (two earned) on six hits over five innings Sunday against the Indians.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
He struck out three and didn't allow any walks. Latos is off to a great start this spring and is looking to build off his impressive first season. He'll be the Reds' No. 2 starter behind Johnny Cueto. |
|
Mat Latos looks good Tuesday | 03/12/2013 11:22 PM
News
Mat Latos struck out six over four innings of one-run ball against the Dodgers Tuesday.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
He allowed just two singles and didn't walk anyone. Including an exhibition game against Canada, Latos has now allowed three runs while striking out 12 over nine innings this spring. He'll be the Reds' No. 2 starter behind Johnny Cueto this season. |
|
Mat Latos whiffs five over three frames | 03/06/2013 11:47 PM
News
Mat Latos struck out five but allowed a pair of runs over three innings Wednesday against Canada.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
The right-hander walked one and allowed a pair of hits, including a two-run homer to Adam Loewen. Latos has now allowed two runs over five frames so far this spring. |
|
Latos fires two shutout innings vs. Royals | 03/01/2013 8:05 PM
News
Mat Latos hurled two scoreless frames against the Royals on Friday.
Rotoworld.com
Impact
Latos gave up a hit and two walks while striking out one batter. He threw 17 out of 29 pitches for strikes and settled down nicely after the first couple of batters, which isn't unexpected given that it was his first outing of the spring. The 25-year-old right-hander was excellent in his first season in Cincinnati last year and should be drafted inside the top 30 pitchers in mixed leagues this spring. |

Reds, Latos avoid arbitration with 2-yr deal | 02/12/2013 1:22 PM
News
Reds and RHP Mat Latos avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a two-year contract.
John Fay on Twitter
Impact
No word on the terms involved. Latos was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter after posting a 3.48 ERA and 185/64 K/BB ratio over 209 1/3 innings last season. He remains under team control through 2015. |
|
Mat Latos, Reds heading to arbitration | 01/18/2013 7:19 PM
News
Mat Latos requested $4.7 million and was offered $4.15 million from the Reds when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday.
Jon Heyman on Twitter
Impact
This is the first time Latos has been eligible for arbitration. The Reds have had initial discussions with him on a multi-year extension, though there's no rush as he won't hit free agency until after the 2015 season. |

Reds have discussed extension with Mat Latos | 01/03/2013 4:07 PM
News
The Reds have broached the topic of a multi-year contract extension with right-handed starter Mat Latos.
Reds.mlb.com
Impact
Latos is arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter and won't be eligible for free agency until after the 2015 season. So there's no real rush from either side. "We're taking a look to see if it works," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said Thursday. "If not, we'll go year to year. We'd prefer something long term eventually." |
