The Texas Rangers are acquiring right-hander Merrill Kelly from the Arizona Diamondbacks, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Thursday.
Kelly is viewed as a grind-it-out innings eater, and he's pitched well of late with a 2.56 ERA over his past 10 starts to lower his season ERA to 3.22. After getting knocked out early in his second start of the season, he's gone at least five innings in every start since.
