The Rangers reinstated Kennedy (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Texas demoted Hyeon-Jong Yang to Triple-A Round Rock to clear a spot on the active roster for Kennedy, who spent one day more than the minimum amount of time on the IL with a mild left hamstring strain. Prior to missing time with the injury, Kennedy excelled as the Rangers' primary end gamer, converting 12 of 13 save chances while posting a 2.53 ERA in 21.1 innings. He should immediately reclaim closing duties for the Rangers.
