Sent to Triple-A Peacock was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Peacock was promoted to the big leagues Sunday prior to the series finale against the White Sox, but he failed to take the mound and will not head back to the minors. He's appeared twice for Boston in 2021, surrendering nine runs on six hits while fanning three across 5.1 innings.

Back with BoSox The Red Sox recalled Peacock from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact The righty rejoins the Red Sox a day after being optioned, as Phillips Valdez tested positive for COVID-19 and left an open spot in the bullpen. Peacock will pitch in nothing but the lowest-leverage situations for as long as he sticks with the big-league roster.

Optioned to Triple-A Peacock was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Impact This makes room for Saturday's starter, Connor Seabold, on the active roster. Peacock has given up nine earned runs in 5.1 innings this season.

Works in long relief Peacock tossed three innings in relief during Tuesday's 12-7 loss to the Rays, giving up four runs on four hits and a walk while striking out three.

Impact After making a spot start Sept. 1 against the Rays in his Red Sox debut, Peacock shifted to the bullpen with Boston bringing its rotation back to five men to begin the week. With Eduardo Rodriguez failing to escape the fourth inning in his start, Peacock and Michael Feliz were needed to provide length Tuesday. It's unclear if Peacock will continue to work in relief the rest of the week, as the team will have a need for a fifth starter Sept. 14 in Seattle after Nick Pivetta was forced to the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday following his positive test.

Allows five runs in short outing Peacock (0-1) allowed five runs on two hits and two walks over 2.1 innings, taking the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Rays on Tuesday.

Impact Peacock was making his first start in the majors since June of 2019 and it did not go well for him. He had a quick 1-2-3 inning on just seven pitches to open up the game but then served up a solo home run to Randy Arozarena in the second. Things really went south for him in the third after he allowed four of the first five batters he faced to reach and two to score before he was pulled from the game. Peacock would end up being charged for two additional runs before his night was all said and done. Tuesday's start will likely be the only one of the season for the 33-year-old, as he figures to be sent back down to Triple-A Worchester ahead of Wednesday's game.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured list Peacock was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder soreness Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The 32-year-old missed the first six weeks with right shoulder issues, and it appears he's aggravated that injury since returning in early September. Peacock wasn't given an official timeline for his return, and it's possible he may not pitch again this season.

Working through apparent injury Manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that Peacock is "ailing" for an undisclosed reason, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Peacock is dealing with an apparent injury, but Baker didn't provide any details regarding the nature or severity of the issue. It's unclear whether the injury will impact Peacock's availability for Opening Day, scheduled for July 24. The 32-year-old suffered a shoulder injury last season but made 23 appearances (15 starts) for the Astros, recording a 4.12 ERA and a 96:31 K:BB over 91.2 innings.
