Reports: Dodgers set to acquire LHP Zach Penrod from Red Sox
- On Friday, June 20, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced they had acquired left-handed pitcher Zach Penrod in a trade with the Boston Red Sox.
- The trade followed Boston designating Penrod for assignment to clear roster space after acquiring Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks in the Rafael Devers trade last week.
- Penrod, an undrafted player who signed with the Texas Rangers in 2018, impressed with a 4.16 ERA and 34.8% strikeout rate over 62 2/3 minor league innings in 2024 before making seven relief appearances for Boston.
- He posted a 5.68 ERA through six Triple-A games in 2025 after returning from an elbow injury that sidelined him nearly three months, while the Dodgers bullpen ranks 18th in MLB with a 4.07 ERA through 76 games.
- The Dodgers aim to bolster their strained bullpen amid injuries and heavy usage, with Penrod expected to provide flexible left-handed depth and possibly join Triple-A Oklahoma City before another major league call-up.
