Rangers' Walter Pennington: Recalled by Texas
Texas recalled Pennington from the Arizona Complex League Rangers on Saturday.
Pennington takes the spot in the Rangers' bullpen vacated by right-hander Josh Sborz, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right shoulder fatigue. Pennington made his last appearance Sept. 21 against the Mariners, during which he allowed three runs on two hits while striking out two across two-thirds of an inning. Across 15 major-league outings with the Rangers this season (including one start), Pennington has a 3.12 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 17.1 innings.

Rangers' Walter Pennington: Sent to minors
The Rangers optioned Pennington to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
Pennington has been solid out of the bullpen since joining the Rangers in August, posting a 2.76 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 16.1 frames. However, he gave up three earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning during his most recent appearance, which will ultimately cost him his spot on the active roster. Josh Sborz (shoulder) returned from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move to take Pennington's place.

Rangers' Walter Pennington: Will open Sunday
Pennington will serve as the Rangers' opening pitcher for Sunday's series finale against the Athletics, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Despite having just four minor-league starts under his belt over the past three seasons, Pennington will get his first major-league start Sunday. He's pitched more than one inning twice across his seven outings with the Rangers this season, with the last instance coming Aug. 23 against the Guardians, when he threw three innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out three. Jose Urena and Chase Anderson are the top candidates to serve in bulk relief, though the former tossed four scoreless innings Wednesday against the White Sox and may not be available to provide much length.

Rangers' Walter Pennington: Called up from Triple-A
The Rangers recalled Pennington from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
Pennington will replace fellow left-hander Brock Burke in the Texas bullpen after the Rangers designated Burke for assignment. Acquired from the Royals on July 29 in the deal that sent right-hander Michael Lorenzen to Kansas City, Pennington previously made his Rangers debut last Sunday against the Red Sox, working one inning while giving up an earned run on one hit and three walks. He'll likely occupy a low-leverage role during his upcoming stint with Texas.

Rangers' Walter Pennington: Recalled by Texas
The Rangers recalled Pennington from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Across 39 outings in Triple-A this season, Pennington has a 2.13 ERA with 84 strikeouts across 63.1 innings. His move to the big club corresponds with the Rangers placing right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list.

Pennington, 26, has made one scoreless appearance in the majors this season and boasts a 2.26 ERA and 79:20 K:BB across 59.2 innings at the Triple-A level in 2024. The left-hander will be assigned to Triple-A Round Rock for now but could contribute to the Rangers bullpen in the second half.

Royals' Walter Pennington: Returned to Omaha
The Royals returned Pennington to Triple-A Omaha following Wednesday's doubleheader against St. Louis.
Pennington didn't pitch in either of Wednesday's games while serving as the Royals' 27th man. He's been a reliable option for Omaha, however, posting a 2.22 ERA and 0.96 WHIP alongside an 81:21 K:BB through 56.2 innings. Should Kansas City need to bring another fresh arm into its bullpen, the 26-year-old southpaw would be a likely candidate for promotion.

Royals' Walter Pennington: Joining big club for doubleheader
The Royals recalled Pennington from Triple-A Omaha to serve as their 27th man for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Pennington will give the Royals a fresh arm out of the bullpen for the nightcap before he likely heads back to Omaha on Thursday. The 26-year-old lefty previously made his big-league debut last week in Colorado, retiring both of the batters he faced.

Royals' Walter Pennington: Optioned back to Omaha
The Royals optioned Pennington to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
Just a day after being selected to the active roster, Pennington will now return to Triple-A, though he'll keep his spot on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old lefty struck out a batter in two-thirds of an inning during his MLB debut Friday and could be a candidate to return to Kansas City if he remains effective in Triple-A (2.35 ERA, 0.97 WHIP). Kris Bubic (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
