The Rangers signed Barraclough to a minor-league contract Monday. Barraclough -- who has been assigned to Triple-A Round Rock -- held a 12.91 ERA in three relief appearances with the Red Sox last season. The 33-year-old was used in the rotation last season at Triple-A Worcester, which was the first time he had been deployed as a starter on a regular basis in professional ball. It's not clear what role the Rangers have planned for him at Round Rock.

Barraclough cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. The right-hander was designated for assignment by Boston on Sunday but will remain in the organization after he passed through waivers unclaimed. Barraclough made just three appearances in the big leagues in 2023 and allowed 11 earned runs over 7.2 innings, though he fared better at Triple-A with a 3.65 ERA in 14 outings (13 starts).

The Red Sox designated Barraclough for assignment Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. Now that Zack Kelly (elbow) has returned from the 60-day IL, Barraclough will lose his spot on the 40-man roster to create room for Kelly. Barraclough made just three appearances for the Red Sox this season, giving up 11 runs over 7.2 frames.

Barraclough was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. Barraclough was called up by the Red Sox on Monday and was lit up for 10 runs across 4.1 innings of long relief to take the loss against the Astros, so it's not a major surprise he's not sticking on the big-league roster. The 33-year-old has pitched well as a starter at Triple-A this season with a 2.43 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 41:23 K:BB over 55.2 innings.

Barraclough was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Monday. Barraclough will assume the 26-man active roster spot of lefty Chris Murphy, who was optioned to Worcester in a corresponding move. The 33-year-old right-hander appeared in two games with the Red Sox earlier this month and recorded a win, a 2.70 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP while working 3.1 innings. He had slotted back into the Triple-A rotation after being optioned Aug. 13 and should provide the Red Sox with some extra length out of the bullpen upon rejoining the big club.
