Rangers acquired RHP José Ruiz and cash considerations from the Braves for RHP Dane Dunning.

The 30-year-old hurler had fallen out of favor with the Braves after posting an unsightly 8.82 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and a 15/9 K/BB ratio across 16 1/3 frames in 18 appearances out of the team’s bullpen. He’s got a live arm though and could benefit from a change of scenery. He’ll report to Triple-A Round Rock to begin his Rangers career.

Braves sent RHP José Ruiz outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Ruiz has the ability to elect free agency and will presumably do exactly that in the coming days. The 30-year-old righty was removed from Atlanta’s relief mix earlier this week after struggling in a pair of appearances after being claimed off waivers from the Phillies.

The 30-year-old hurler posted an 8.82 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and a 15/9 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings in 18 appearances with the Braves.
