Kelly was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for Kohl Drake, Mitch Bratt and David Hagaman, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kelly will step right into the rotation behind Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi, although it's unclear when he'll make his Rangers debut. Kelly is a free agent after the season, and Drake and Bratt were two of the Rangers' top prospects, so this is a big swing by Texas. The 36-year-old righty has a 3.22 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 121 strikeouts in 128.2 innings this season.
