Penrod was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. The 27-year-old lefty split the majority of his season between Double-A and Triple-A, establishing himself as a fringe prospect despite his age. Control was an issue for Penrod at Triple-A (16.1 percent walk rate), and he walked four batters in four innings while up with the big club.

The Red Sox selected Penrod's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports. After starting the season at Double-A Portland, Penrod will now get his first taste of the big leagues. The 27-year-old southpaw owns a 5.93 ERA and 1.70 WHIP through 27.1 innings at Triple-A, however, so he will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while with the Red Sox.

Penrod allowed two runs on three hits and struck out seven over 2.2 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Friday. Penrod, who had been sidelined since June 6 with a leg injury, started for the WooSox but was not given a long leash in his return. He fanned six of the first seven hitters faced before allowing runs in his third and final frame. The 27-year-old left-hander, whom the Red Sox signed out of independent ball last season, could be a bullpen option for Boston down the stretch.

Penrod (shin) will return from Triple-A Worcester's 7-day injured list to start Friday against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. A 27-year-old lefty whom the Red Sox signed out of independent ranks last August, Penrod had been one of the organization's better upper-level starters before he landed on the IL on June 9 with left shin inflammation. He'll slot back into the Worcester rotation this weekend, but since he didn't head out on a rehab assignment beforehand, he could be limited from a workload standpoint in his return to the mound. Penrod has turned in a 2.91 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 61:20 K:BB across 43.1 innings between Worcester and Double-A Portland this season.

Penrod was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester due to left shin inflammation Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. Penrod will be forced to miss a week of action with what the Red Sox are hopeful will be a "short-term" shin issue. The left-hander has made two starts with Worcester after being promoted in late May, producing a 3.38 ERA with eight strikeouts over eight innings.
