Contract selected The Phillies selected Rangel's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Impact Rangel, 27, held a 4.30 ERA and 25:8 K:BB over 29.1 innings with Lehigh Valley this season. He has yet to make an appearance at the big-league level, but the Phillies didn't want him to walk as a minor-league free agent.

Sent back to minors Atlanta optioned Rangel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact Unless Atlanta loses another pitcher to an injury or needs a fresh arm out of the bullpen in the final week of the season, Rangel is unlikely to resurface in the majors again in 2022. The 25-year-old right-hander didn't get the chance to make his MLB debut after being called up from Double-A Mississippi on Saturday, but he already picked up his fair share of work in the minors this season. He started 26 games for Mississippi, turning in a 5.26 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 139:50 K:BB across 114.2 frames.

Called up Saturday Rangel was recalled from Double-A Mississippi on Saturday.

Impact Rangel has spent the year at Mississippi and has posted a 5.26 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 114.2 innings over 26 starts. Although he's served exclusively as a starter in the minors this year, it's possible that he takes on a long-relief role for Atlanta since Bryce Elder is available to claim a rotation spot after Spencer Strider (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list.

Optioned to Triple-A Rangel was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact Rangel was added to Atlanta's 40-man roster in November, but he'll begin the 2022 campaign in the minors. He made 22 appearances (21 starts) between High-A Rome and Double-A Mississippi last year and posted a 3.87 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 104.2 innings.

Protected from Rule 5 draft Rangel's contract was selected by Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact The move protects Rangel from the Rule 5 draft. Rangel has yet to reach Triple-A, but he rode an excellent combination of a 32.0 percent strikeout rate and a 6.1 percent walk rate to a 3.87 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across the High-A and Double-A levels this season.
