Peguero has cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports.
Peguero has enjoyed success over a long career in the minors, collecting 167 long balls with eight different teams. He only tallied five at-bats during a brief stint with the Red Sox after coming over from Texas, and was eventually replaced on the roster by Alejandro De Aza. Considering the power potential, it's a bit surprising to see him clear waivers, but he'll now be available to Boston if the injury bug bites the outfield at any point.

Peguero was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Thursday to make room for newly acquired outfielder Alejandro De Aza.
Peguero only got into one game with Boston before being pushed off the roster by De Aza. Once he clears waivers, he'll more than likely be sent down to Triple-A Pawtucket. He hit 30 home runs at the Triple-A level in 2014, but has failed to produce in the big leagues, compiling a .187 average with four homers over 75 at-bats for Texas and Boston this year.

Peguero made his first start for Boston and went 1-for-2 in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Peguero's stay in Boston might be a short one after the Red Sox acquired Alejandro De Aza from Baltimore on Wednesday. De Aza is expected to join the team on Thursday.

Peguero entered Thursday night's game as a pinch-hitter and stayed in the game to play left field in a win over the Rangers. He went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored.
Peguero came into the game when manager John Farrell shuffled his lineup to accommodate an injury to Xander Bogaerts. Brock Holt moved from left field to shortstop and Peguero took over for Holt. With David Ortiz out for a few days to work on his swing, there might an opportunity for Peguero to get some at-bats in the coming days.
Wed May 27 201518:13Peguero will be on Boston's major league roster
Peguero will be on Boston's major league roster, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.
The Rangers threw in the towel with Peguero after the 28-year-old fanned in 42.9 percent of his plate appearances in 30 games to begin the year, but the Red Sox will give him a look with Shane Victorino on the DL and Rusney Castillo dealing with a shoulder injury. Peguero does have impressive power (.229 ISO this season) and speed for someone who is 6-foot-5, but it remains to be seen how much he'll play with the Red Sox.
Wed May 27 201517:55Peguero traded to Red Sox on Wednesday for cash
Peguero was traded to the Red Sox on Wednesday for cash.
The Rangers designated Peguero for assignment last week after the 28-year-old posted a disappointing .186/.310/.414 batting line in 84 plate appearances with the major league club. Rather than just lose him to waivers, the Rangers opted to trade Peguero to the Red Sox, and he will reportedly join the big club as a reserve outfielder. Peguero has hit .279/.348/.530 in parts of five seasons at the Triple-A level.
Wed May 20 201515:30Peguero designated for assignment Wednesday
Peguero was designated for assignment Wednesday.
Peguero's anemic .186/.310/.414 batting line in 30 games with the Rangers led to his removal from the 25-man roster to make room for Wednesday's starter, Phil Klein. If he passes through waivers unclaimed, he'll likely return to the minors and await another opportunity.
Fri May 15 201518:02Peguero not in lineup Friday against Indians
Peguero is not in the lineup Friday against the Indians.
Kyle Blanks will take over in left field and bat fifth with left-hander Bruce Chen toeing the rubber for Cleveland. Peguero has struck out six times in his last eight at-bats and has just one hit in his last four starts. His window to play regularly may be closing with Josh Hamilton (shoulder) seemingly nearing a return.
Tue May 12 201517:54Peguero back in lineup Tuesday versus Kansas City
Peguero is back in the lineup Tuesday versus Kansas City.
Peguero was given the day off with lefty Danny Duffy on the mound for Kansas City on Monday, but he's back in left field Tuesday as the Rangers take on starter Edinson Volquez.
Mon May 11 201517:06Peguero not in lineup Monday against Kansas City
Peguero is not in the lineup Monday against Kansas City, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Peguero will concede his left field spot to Delino DeShields with lefty Danny Duffy on the mound for Kansas City. Over his last 10 games (25 at-bats), Peguero has gone 7-for-25 at the dish with four home runs, seven RBI and 14 strikeouts.

Peguero connected for a pair of homers in a 11-3 win over Houston Wednesday.
Peguero homered Tuesday as well, though he still managed to strike out three more times between the two games. There are going to be a ton of variance in his game-by-game line with his approach, but there's a lottery ticket potential for those in daily formats.
Tue Apr 28 201500:48Peguero 0-2 with walk and two strikeouts in Monday's loss to Sea...
Peguero went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's loss to Seattle before getting removed for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning as part of a tactical adjustment.
He's now hitting .192 since being called up by the Rangers after Ryan Rua hit the disabled list. Peguero is in danger of losing playing time in May once Josh Hamilton is ready to come off the DL, but it's entirely possible that he'll fall off the roster before then as he's now struck out in 12 of his 26 at-bats over 12 games with the Rangers.
Wed Apr 22 201519:04Peguero out of lineup Wednesday against Diamondbacks
Peguero is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
The 28-year-old has logged at least one at-bat in each of the Rangers' nine games since his April 11 callup, but he's out of the lineup Wednesday for the fourth time in six games. Peguero does have three doubles in 21 at-bats, and may be afforded more time when the Rangers return to AL parks.
Mon Apr 13 201523:50Peguero 1-3 with double and stolen base in Monday's loss to Ange...
Peguero went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Angels.
Peguero has now gotten multiple at-bats in three straight games since getting the call from Triple-A. The outfielder hasn't been a big stolen base threat in his MLB career, but he is getting a chance for now for the banged-up Rangers.
Sat Apr 11 201516:09Peguero's contract purchased from Triple-A and he will receive s...
Peguero's contract was purchased from Triple-A and he will receive the start in right field Saturday against the Astros.
Despite just getting called up from Round Rock, Peguero was thrown right into the fire, manning right field and occupying the two hole in the Rangers' injury-depleted lineup. Shin-Soo Choo is not expected to need a DL stint, but left field Ryan Rua does, so Peguero could be up with the Rangers for a couple of weeks. The 28-year-old journeyman has some pop, hitting nine homers in 69 career games in the big leagues, but he also has a .196 career batting average and a 38.9 percent K-rate, so contact will be an issue for him.
Wed Apr 1 201512:12Peguero will begin season in Triple-A
Peguero will begin the season in Triple-A, Stefan Stevnson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Peguero remained in consideration for the starting spot in left field just over a week ago, but has now officially been eliminated from the running. Ryan Rua appears to be the leading candidate at this point, while the departure of Peguero means Rule 5 pick Delino DeShields has secured a roster spot.

Peguero collected three more hits Sunday and is playing his way into consideration for the open left field spot, the team's web site reports.
A strong spring is nothing new for Peguero, though he's yet to hit in the majors for any prolonged stretch.
Tue Jan 13 201516:21Peguero signed minor league deal
Peguero signed a minor league deal, which includes a spring training invite, with the Rangers on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Peguero, who was placed on waivers by the Royals in mid-December, finished second in the Pacific Coast League with 30 home runs in 104 games last season at Triple-A Omaha. He'll look to earn a reserve spot with the Rangers out of camp but will likely begin the year in Triple-A.
Fri Dec 19 201415:34The Royals placed Peguero on release waivers Friday
The Royals placed Peguero on release waivers Friday.
Peguero smacked 30 home runs in 104 Triple-A games last season, but he is apparently no longer in the Royals' plans. Peguero will be released if he is not claimed off waivers, but even if no team does that, a player with his power probably will not be out of work long.
Mon Sep 1 201414:26Peguero's contract selected from Triple-A Omaha on Monday
Peguero's contract was selected from Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Josh Vernier of Fox Sports Kansas City reports.
Peguero will add depth to Royals' outfield in September, and will add some pop off the bench. In 104 games at Triple-A Omaha, Peguero hit 30 home runs and drove in 76, making him a valuable option off the bench late in games.
