The Texas Rangers made a move to bolster the top of their rotation with minutes remaining before the trade deadline on Thursday, acquiring Merrill Kelly from the Arizona Diamondbacks, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Kelly, 36, is making $7 million in the final season of his contract and has put together a nice year, going 9-6 with a 3.22 ERA in 22 starts for a D-backs rotation that has, outside of him, underperformed. Since the start of June, Kelly boasts a 2.56 ERA.
