Career

On July 2, 2014, Rangel signed with the Atlanta Braves as an international free agent.[1] He made his professional debut with the rookie-level Gulf Coast Braves in 2015, and spent the next two seasons with them. In 26 combined games, he recorded a 4.35 ERA with 51 strikeouts in 42+2⁄3 innings of work.[2]

Rangel spent the 2017 season with the Single-A Rome Braves, making 15 appearances (13 starts) and logging a 4.71 ERA with 48 strikeouts in 70+2⁄3 innings pitched.[3] Rangel returned to Rome in 2018, making 25 appearances (22 starts) and registering a 5–7 record and 4.09 ERA with 105 strikeouts in 125+1⁄33 innings of work.[4] He spent a third straight season in Rome in 2019, pitching in 28 games (24 starts) and posting a 10–7 record and 4.51 ERA with 121 strikeouts in 131+2⁄3 innings of work.[5]

Rangel did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Rangel split the 2021 season between the Double-A Mississippi Braves and Rome, posting a cumulative 7–7 record and 3.87 ERA with 136 strikeouts in 104+2⁄3 innings pitched across 22 games (21 starts).[7]

On November 6, 2021, the Braves added Rangel to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[8] He was optioned to the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers to begin the 2022 season.[9] He pitched in only one game for Gwinnett before being demoted to the Double-A Mississippi Braves. In 26 starts for Mississippi, Rangel registered a 5–8 record and 5.26 ERA with 139 strikeouts in 114+2⁄3 innings pitched. On September 24, 2022, Rangel was promoted to the major leagues for the first time after Spencer Strider was placed on the injured list.[10] He went unused out of the bullpen and was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on September 27, becoming a phantom ballplayer.[11] On November 18, Rangel was non-tendered by the Braves and became a free agent.[12]

Rangel re-signed with the Braves on a minor league contract on November 29, 2022.[13] He was assigned to Double-A Mississippi to begin the 2023 season.[14]
