Foltynewicz refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Round Rock after clearing waivers. The 30-year-old righty recorded an underwhelming 5.44 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 97/36 K/BB ratio across 139 innings (28 appearances, 24 starts) this season. He also coughed up a staggering 35 homers as well. He'll search for a new opportunity this offseason, but may wind up having to settle for a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training.

The right-hander has been sidelined since August 23 and will return to a 5.54 ERSA and 1.28 WHIP over 130 frames. Foltynewicz is not an option for fantasy leagues. 

As opposed to some of the other Rangers' players on the COVID-19 injured list, Folty's return date is a bit more murky. As it stands, there's no current plan to have him throw a simulated game or begin a rehab assignment. Foltynewicz hasn't pitched since August 18. 

It's unclear whether he tested positive. Foltynewicz was previously lined up to start Wednesday against the Indians, but now Spencer Howard is the probable pitcher. Dane Dunning will pitch on Thursday.
