Impact Kent hadn't pitched at the Triple-A level since April 14 due to a right elbow sprain before he was cleared to head out on a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on July 25. After just one appearance in the ACL, Kent received the green light to rejoin the Triple-A pitching staff.

Re-ups with Guardians Kent (elbow) re-signed with the Guardians on a minor-league contract July 16 and was placed on Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list a day later.

Impact Kent began the season on the Guardians' 40-man roster and was optioned to Columbus coming out of spring training. He made three appearances with the Triple-A club before landing on the IL on April 19 with a right elbow strain. Kent was never activated before the Guardians designated him for assignment in late June and then ultimately released him, but he's now back with the organization, though he's no longer a member of the 40-man roster. He's still working his way back from the elbow injury, but Kent will take a meaningful step forward Thursday, as he's been cleared to report to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to begin a rehab assignment.

DFA'd by Cleveland The Guardians designated Kent (elbow) for assignment Saturday.

Impact Kent has been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus since April 19 due to a right elbow strain. He pitched five scoreless innings across his three outings in the minors this season, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out eight.

Cut from major-league camp Kent was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock by the Rangers on Thursday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kent was never a real candidate to break camp with the team, anyway, but he didn't help himself in posting a 12.27 ERA in three Cactus League appearances. The 26-year-old will open 2024 in Round Rock's rotation and hope to debut at some point this year with the Rangers.

Impact Kent was sharp in his return to the Round Rock rotation after he hadn't pitched in the Pacific Coast League since April 4 due to an oblique strain. Prior to being activated, the 25-year-old right-hander made three tune-up starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Gearing up for return Kent (oblique) made a rehab start Saturday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, giving up no hits and one walk over two scoreless innings while striking out four.

Impact After tossing three scoreless innings in his season debut for Triple-A Round Rock on April 4, Kent was shut down for more than three months with what was apparently a significant oblique strain. The 25-year-old right-hander is now in the process of getting stretched back out again, and he may only need one or two more starts in the lower levels of the minors before setting back into the Round Rock rotation.

Out with oblique strain Kent is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Round Rock with a strained oblique, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The 6-foot-3 righty struck out three in three scoreless innings during his first start of the year for the Express on April 4 but has not pitched since. Kent boasts an excellent fastball/slider combination, but he is still working on developing starter-caliber command and secondaries beyond his slider. He has six career starts at Triple-A under his belt and is on the 40-man roster, so we could see Kent pitching in the majors in some capacity later this season.
