Overview

• Los Angeles acquired left-hander Zach Penrod from the Boston Red Sox for cash considerations to reinforce its bullpen
• Penrod appeared in seven major league games last season with a 2.25 ERA over four innings and has a 5.68 ERA in six outings for Triple-A Worcester this year
• Boston designated Penrod for assignment after trading Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants and adding pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison
• Right-hander Roki Sasaki was transferred to the 60-day injured list with a shoulder impingement after last pitching May 13, ending his rookie campaign at 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA
• The move aims to shore up bullpen depth while Sasaki recovers and the Dodgers navigate their pitching roster
