Peacock signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Friday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peacock began the season at Triple-A Omaha and posted a 1.88 ERA, 45:16 K:BB and 1.29 WHIP in 38.1 innings over 35 relief appearances prior to being released by the Royals on July 19. The 34-year-old will attempt to maintain his success at Triple-A St. Paul now that he's landed another minor-league contract.

The Royals released Peacock from his minor-league contract Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Peacock was one three players cut loose from the Triple-A Omaha roster as the affiliate prepares to welcome back a number of players coming out of the All-Star break after the big club needed reinforcements from the minor-league ranks last weekend when 10 players were placed on the restricted list for the Royals' series in Toronto. Over his 38.1 innings out of the Omaha bullpen this season, Peacock turned in a 1.88 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB. He shouldn't have much trouble landing a minor-league deal with another organization.

Peacock signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old enjoyed a productive three-year run as a swingman with the Astros from 2017 through 2019 -- he went 23-13 with a 3.46 ERA and 29.4 K% over 288.2 innings -- but recurring shoulder problems have derailed his career ever since. He's made only five appearances at the big-league level over the past two seasons, and at this stage in his career, the Royals may view him exclusively as a reliever. Peacock's deal likely includes an invitation to big-league spring training, but he'll still presumably be on the outside looking in for a spot on the Royals' Opening Day roster.

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

The Red Sox recalled Peacock from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
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 likely pitch in nothing but the lowest-leverage situations for as long as he sticks with the big-league roster.

Peacock was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
