Maikel Cleto: Released by Cubs
Cleto was released by the Cubs on Monday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
It was a rough spring for Cleto, who surrendered eight runs across just three innings of work, allowing nine hits while walking three and striking out two. The 27-year-old owns a career 6.60 ERA in 45 major league innings, so he'll serve as nothing more than organizational depth wherever he's able to catch on.

Maikel Cleto: Released by White Sox on Thursday
Cleto was released by the White Sox on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Cleto has been plagued by control issues during his times in the majors, and it appears that the White Sox have had enough of the reliever because of it. He is only 26 years old, though, and considering his solid showing with Triple-A Charlotte last season (3.00 ERA, 10.8 K/9), he could be swept up by another team very soon.

White Sox's Maikel Cleto: Signs minor league deal with White Sox
Cleto signed a minor league contract with the White Sox, Baseball America reports.
Control issues plagued Cleto during his time with the big club in 2014 and continued into spring training, leading to his outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte just before the start of last season. He was able to overcome those issues to a significant extent with Charlotte (3.00 ERA, 10.8 K/9), but Cleto has more to prove to regain a spot on the 40-man roster.
