The Rangers optioned Peoples to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
Peoples will lose his spot in the Rangers' bullpen after giving up one earned run in two innings across his two appearances since coming up from Triple-A on Monday. The 25-year-old has been effective in the majors, logging a 2.51 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 14.1 innings, so there's a strong chance he'll return to the big club at some point whenever the team needs a fresh arm. Until then, his roster spot will be occupied by Marco Gonzales.

Rangers' Ben Peoples: Sent down to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers optioned Peoples to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Peoples has posted a 2.19 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 12.1 innings since joining the Rangers in early July, but he'll end up as the odd man out of Texas' bullpen following MacKenzie Gore's return from paternity leave. Peoples has also performed well at Triple-A this season (2.39 ERA, 1.10 WHIP) and is a likely candidate to return to the majors later this season whenever the Rangers need a fresh arm.

Rangers' Ben Peoples: Dealt to Rangers
Rotowire
The White Sox traded Peoples to the Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for Ben Hartl, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Peoples has performed well at Triple-A Charlotte this season, turning in a 2.39 ERA and 1.10 WHIP through 37.2 innings. The 25-year-old didn't own a 40-man roster spot while with the White Sox, so he'll remain at Triple-A to begin his tenure with the Rangers, but he could be called upon to make his MLB debut later this summer if his performance holds.
