Reds sign veteran righty Fogg

---

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Reds announced the signing free-agent right-handed pitcher Josh Fogg to a one-year contract on Thursday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Fogg, 31, went 10-9 with a 4.94 earned-run average in 29 starts and one relief appearance last season for the National League champion-Colorado Rockies.

During the Rockies' postseason run he posted a 2-1 record, between a relief appearance against the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL Division Series and starts against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the NL Championship Series and the Boston Red Sox during the World Series.

The veteran starter closed strong in 2007, as he went 3-0 with a 3.82 ERA in his last seven starts of the regular season.

A seven-year veteran, Fogg has posted a 60-60 career record with a 4.90 ERA in 197 appearances, including 179 starts, for the Chicago White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates and Rockies.

To make room on the 40-man roster, left-handed pitcher Bobby Livingston went on the 60-day disabled list. Livingston is recovering from left shoulder surgery.
