Dunning was traded from Texas to Atlanta in exchange for Jose Ruiz and cash Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning has spent the majority of his season at Triple-A Round Rock and has appeared exclusively in relief in his five big-league appearances. Atlanta's immediate plans for him are unclear, but the team has a significant need at starting pitcher with both Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) and Chris Sale (elbow) sidelined. Dunning posted a 5.02 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 71.2 innings as a starter in 2024.

The Rangers optioned Dunning to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander spent the past 10 days in the majors but will head back to Round Rock with Caleb Boushley joining the active roster Friday. Dunning has a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB over 10.2 frames in the big leagues this season.

The Rangers recalled Dunning from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was optioned to Round Rock on Friday but will make a quick return to the majors with Evan Carter (personal) being placed on the bereavement list. Dunning has made just two appearances with the Rangers this season and has a 4.47 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 49:18 K:BB across 46.1 innings at Triple-A.

The Rangers optioned Dunning to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning's demotion makes room on the 26-man roster for Nathan Eovaldi (triceps), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Mariners on Friday. Dunning worked out of the Rangers' bullpen against the Orioles on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out two batters across two innings.

The Rangers selected Dunning's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning will be available out of the bullpen for Monday's series opener in Baltimore, but if he goes unused, he'll be an option to make a spot start or serve as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's contest. Since being outrighted off the Rangers' 40-man roster in May, Dunning has been working out of the rotation at Round Rock, pitching to a 3.76 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB in 26.1 innings. Even if he ends up getting a start Tuesday, Dunning likely won't be in store for multiple turns through the rotation since Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) looks poised to return from the 15-day injured list later this week.

Dunning cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Round Rock.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning will officially stick with the organization after being dropped from the 40-man roster Wednesday. He's made five starts in the minors so far this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.55 WHIP across 20 innings, and he could be in consideration for a move back to the Rangers if the big club's pitching depth is tested down the road.

The Rangers designated Dunning for assignment Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning made one appearance after being selected to the active roster Monday, allowing two runs over three innings. He'll now be stripped of his 40-man spot to make room for Tucker Barnhart, who was promoted from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. With a poor MLB track record and a 5.40 ERA in the minors this year, it's likely Dunning passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Rangers selected Dunning's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning was removed from the 40-man roster prior to Opening Day but has made his way back to the big leagues after posting a 5.40 ERA and 21:9 K:BB over 20 innings covering five starts at Round Rock. He will give the bullpen some length.

The Rangers outrighted Dunning to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning passed through waivers unclaimed, with his $2.66 million salary likely being a major reason why. He will remain in the organization and could be used in the Round Rock rotation.

The Rangers placed Dunning on outright waivers Sunday, allowing him to be claimed by the rest of the league, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander remains on the big-league roster for now, but he could be outrighted to the minors if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Dunning posted a 5.31 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 91:40 K:BB across 95 innings last season, and he struggled during spring training with 10 runs allow over 11 frames.
