Brad Penny was claimed off waivers earlier this month, and then subsequently pulled back by the Red Sox, according to multiple sources. With the 48-hour window in which a deal could be worked out by the Red Sox and the claiming team already passed, Penny, who is being skipped over for his turn in the rotation this week, can?t be dealt by the Sox. Penny is scheduled to be available for relief duty both Wednesday and Thursday, with a simulated game planned for Friday if he isn?t used.
