Matt Lindstrom has allowed an earned run in three of his last five relief appearances. The streaky Idahoan didn't allow a run through April 20, then gave up six in his next four appearances, then was perfect in May until the 10th, when his newest batch of concerns cropped up. The 32-year-old reliever, signed to a one-year, $2.8 million contract over the winter, holds a 4.76 ERA over 17 innings. Lindstrom will continue operating out of a middle relief role.

White Sox signed RHP Matt Lindstrom to a one-year, $2.8 million contract. The deal also includes a $4 million option for 2014, as well as $2.25 million in bonuses and escalators based on games finished to be paid out over the life of the contract. It's a nice little under-the-radar signing for the Palehose, as Lindstrom boasts a 2.85 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over the last two seasons.

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that free agent right-hander Matt Lindstrom has agreed to terms with the White Sox on a one-year contract. The deal, which is dependent on Lindstrom passing a physical, also includes an option for the 2014 campaign. The 32-year-old reliever posted a solid 2.68 ERA and 40/14 K/BB ratio over 47 innings for the Orioles and Diamondbacks in 2012, and will work in a setup role in Chicago.

Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles are among the teams interested in free agent reliever Matt Lindstrom. The O's traded Lindstrom to the Diamondbacks in August for Joe Saunders, but they would like to bring him back. The 32-year-old right-hander posted a solid 2.68 ERA and 40/14 K/BB ratio over 47 innings this season, so they should have plenty of competition for his services.

Diamondbacks declined RHP Matt Lindstrom's $4 million club option for 2013. Lindstrom will receive a $200,000 buyout and test free agency. The 32-year-old posted a solid 2.68 ERA and 40/14 K/BB ratio over 47 innings this season between the Orioles and Diamondbacks. While the O's didn't pick up the option, Lindstrom might be able to fetch a multi-year deal this winter.

Diamondbacks acquired RHP Matt Lindstrom and a player to be named later for LHP Joe Saunders and cash considerations. It's a surprisingly good return for the Diamondbacks, as Saunders is a rental player and hasn't been particularly effective since the All-Star break. Lindstrom has a 2.72 ERA in 35 appearances for the Orioles. His $4 million option in 2013 will likely be declined.

Matt Lindstrom returned to action on Wednesday July 25.
