Zach Penrod News: Dropped from 40-man roster

The Red Sox designated Penrod for assignment Sunday.

Penrod will now be exposed to waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely remain in the organization with Triple-A Worcester. The left-hander has posted a 5.68 ERA and 2.05 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 7.1 innings in six appearances with Worcester this season. The transaction makes room for left-hander Kyle Harrison and right-hander Jordan Hicks (toe) on Boston's 40-man roster after the team dealt designated hitter Rafael Devers to the Giants on Sunday.
