KYLE BARRACLOUGH NEWS

Gets minors deal from Rangers The Rangers signed Barraclough to a minor-league contract on May 6.

Impact Barraclough -- who has been assigned to Triple-A Round Rock -- held a 12.91 ERA in three relief appearances with the Red Sox last season. The 33-year-old was used in the rotation last season at Triple-A Worcester, which was the first time he had been deployed as a starter on a regular basis in pro ball. It's not clear what role the Rangers have planned for him at Round Rock.

Impact The right-hander was designated for assignment by Boston on Sunday but will remain in the organization after he passed through waivers unclaimed. Barraclough made just three appearances in the big leagues in 2023 and allowed 11 earned runs over 7.2 innings, though he fared better at Triple-A with a 3.65 ERA in 14 outings (13 starts).

DFA'd by Sox The Red Sox designated Barraclough for assignment Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Barraclough was called up by the Red Sox on Monday and was lit up for 10 runs across 4.1 innings of long relief to take the loss against the Astros, so it's not a major surprise he's not sticking on the big-league roster. The 33-year-old has pitched well as a starter at Triple-A this season with a 2.43 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 41:23 K:BB over 55.2 innings.

Impact Barraclough will take the roster spot of Chris Murphy, who was optioned to Worcester in the corresponding move. Barraclough appeared in two games with the Red Sox earlier this month and recorded a win, a 2.70 ERA and 1.20 WHIP while working 3.1 innings.

Optioned to Triple-A The Red Sox optioned Barraclough to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact With the return of Garrett Whitlock (elbow) from the injured list, Barraclough will head back to Triple-A in order to clear a space in Boston's bullpen. The 33-year-old righty surrendered one run in 3.1 innings across two games in his brief MLB stint and could return to Boston later this season if the team is ever in need of a fresh bullpen arm.

Added to big-league roster The Red Sox selected Barraclough's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The longtime reliever has actually been working as a starter with Worcester and doing quite well with a 2.57 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 28:19 K:BB over 42 innings. Barraclough could be a candidate to eat some innings, if needed, on Wednesday versus the Royals with Nick Pivetta making a start on three days' rest.

Finds work with Boston Barraclough agreed to a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact After electing free agency following the 2022 season, Barraclough had most recently been pitching for the High Point Rockers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, but he'll make his return to affiliated ball as a member of the Red Sox organization. Barraclough will most likely settle into the bullpen at Triple-A Worcester, hoping to string together enough quality performances to earn a call-up to Boston. The 33-year-old right-hander made eight appearances at the MLB level for the Angels in 2022, logging a 3.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB in nine innings.

The team has yet to announce a corresponding move.

Joins big-league roster Barraclough was called up by the Angels on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barraclough owns a career 3.63 ERA over parts of six big-league seasons, though that number jumps to 5.59 across 46.2 frames since the start of the 2019 season. He'll give the Angels another arm in the bullpen, but he'll have to improve on that recent performance if he's to stick around.

Sent to Triple-A Barraclough was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
