Lorenzen, 32, is 5-6 with a 3.81 ERA in 19 games (18 starts) in his first season with the Rangers.

An All-Star last season, Lorenzen threw a no-hitter for Philadelphia against Washington on Aug. 9, 2023. He signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with Texas on March 22.

Pennington, 26, made his major league debut for the Royals on July 5 at Colorado and retired both batters he faced with one strikeout.

Since joining the Kansas City organization in 2021, he is 22-11 with a 3.54 ERA in 147 games (four starts) in the minor leagues. Pennington has struck out 255 batters and walked 100 in 241 1/3 innings.
