Atlanta Braves Acquire Veteran Swingman Dane Dunning in Trade With Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers traded right-handed pitcher Dane Dunning to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for right-handed pitcher José Ruiz and cash considerations Thursday night, per announcements from each team.

Dunning had been with the Rangers since December 2020, when they acquired him from the Chicago White Sox as part of the Lance Lynn deal. He was an on-and-off member of Texas' rotation for the next four years, but he was not getting as much run in 2025.

Since starting the season in Triple-A, Dunning has made just five appearances in the big leagues, all of which came out of the bullpen.
