Rangers rejuvenate rotation: Lorenzen is released

After signing Michael Lorenzen in March, it was clear that the experienced pitcher would play an important role in the 2023 season for the Texas Rangers. Lorenzen, who has a record of 5-6 and an ERA of 3.81 in 18 starts, signed a one-year contract after his market in the free agency phase did not develop as expected. With the imminent return of the injured pitchers Cody Bradford, Dane Dunning, Tyler Mahle, and Jacob deGrom, the Rangers can look forward to a strengthened rotation. As a result, Lorenzen's position became expendable. The 31-year-old, who moved from the Detroit Tigers to the Philadelphia Phillies last season and threw a no-hitter in his second game there, now finds himself with his fourth team in a calendar year. The 26-year-old pitcher Pennington, who made his Major League debut earlier this month and threw an impressive 2/3 inning game against the Colorado Rockies, will also be a significant reinforcement. In Triple-A Omaha, Pennington has compiled a record of 6-3 with an impressive ERA of 2.26 over 59.2 innings in 37 games. The Rangers' strategic decision underscores their confidence in the return of their injured pitchers as well as the potential of young talents like Pennington. Fans and analysts will eagerly follow the forthcoming performance updates.
