Set for team debut Saturday
Kelly is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park.
Analysis
Acquired from the Diamondbacks on Thursday, Kelly will join the Texas rotation as a replacement for right-hander Kumar Rocker, who was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. Set to become a free agent this winter, the 36-year-old righty will be looking to finish the 2025 campaign on a high note while he aims to secure one last big payday in the offseason. He had been Arizona's top starter this season prior to being dealt, turning in a 3.22 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 121:38 K:BB over 128.2 innings.

Heading to Texas
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.
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.

Suffers tough-luck loss
Kelly (9-6) took the loss against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 6.2 innings.
Analysis
Kelly gave up a two-run homer in the second inning, and that proved to be all the Pirates needed as the Diamondbacks were shut out. The 36-year-old still logged his fourth quality start in five July outings, allowing just eight earned runs over 30.2 innings during that stretch. He'll take a 3.22 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 121:38 K:BB across 128.2 innings into a road matchup with the Athletics next weekend.
