The Rangers acquired Peoples on Tuesday in a trade with the White Sox, and he'll now get an opportunity to make his MLB debut with Texas after posting a 2.39 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 37.2 innings at Triple-A. Winston Santos was optioned to Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
The White Sox traded Peoples to the Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for Ben Hartl, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Peoples has performed well at Triple-A Charlotte this season, turning in a 2.39 ERA and 1.10 WHIP through 37.2 innings. The 25-year-old didn't own a 40-man roster spot while with the White Sox, so he'll remain at Triple-A to begin his tenure with the Rangers, but he could be called upon to make his MLB debut later this summer if his performance holds.
