Demoted to minors The Phillies optioned Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Rangel will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the Philadelphia bullpen to veteran right-hander David Robertson, whom the Phillies called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Over his five appearances out of the Philadelphia bullpen this season, Rangel had notched a save and allowed three earned runs on 10 hits and six walks over 11 innings.

Back in big leagues The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Since his demotion to Triple-A in late June, Rangel has posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.35 WHIP alongside a 17:8 K:BB through 16.1 innings. He'll now rejoin the Phillies' pitching staff as a replacement for the injured Joe Ross (back) and presumably take on a long-relief role.

Moved down to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Rangel pitched five scoreless innings of relief Friday, but he'll return to Lehigh Valley so the Phillies can add a fresh arm to the bullpen in Daniel Robert. Rangel owns a 4.96 ERA in 69 innings at Lehigh Valley this season.

Collects multi-inning save Rangel recorded his first career save in Friday's 13-0 rout of Atlanta, allowing six hits and a walk over five scoreless innings of relief. He struck out four.

Impact Mick Abel was the scheduled starter for the Phillies, but a rain delay was called prior to the first pitch after the right-hander had already warmed up. When play resumed, the team elected to go with a bullpen game, and Rangel did most of the heavy lifting after Philadelphia raced out to an 11-0 lead in the third inning, tossing 71 pitches (49 strikes). Expect the 27-year-old to get sent back down to the rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and be replaced with a fresh bullpen arm in short order.

Brought up from Triple-A The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Right-hander Michael Mercado was optioned to Triple-A to make room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Rangel. The 27-year-old right-hander previously made his MLB debut in a three-inning relief appearance June 7 and will likely serve as a lower-leverage arm during his latest stint with the Phillies.

Returns to minors The Phillies optioned Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Rangel had just been called up from the minors Friday, and he gave the Phillies three innings of work against Pittsburgh that night, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one batter. The righty reliever's return to Triple-A makes room for Philadelphia to call up a fresh bullpen arm from the minors in the form of Daniel Robert.

Headed to big leagues The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Impact Rangel will provide some immediate help to the Phillies' bullpen ahead of Friday's bullpen game against the Pirates. He'll be making his MLB debut if he gets into a game. The 27-year-old has a 5.02 ERA in 57.1 innings spanning 12 appearances, all of which were starts. Seth Johnson was optioned to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

JUNE 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Rangel made two appearances for the Phillies in spring training and allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two across three innings. He'll begin the 2025 regular season in Triple-A, but the 27-year-old reliever could see some time in the majors at some point this season if the Phillies need to bolster their bullpen.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.
