The Rangers have acquired right-hander Jason Grilli and cash considerations from the Blue Jays in exchange for minor league outfielder Eduard Pinto.
Grilli will join the Rangers on Monday in Arlington. The 40-year-old veteran had a 6.97 ERA in 26 appearances for the Blue Jays before being designated for assignment earlier this week. The Rangers DFA’d Preston Claiborne to make room for Grilli on the 40-man roster. They’ll need to make another move on Monday to make room on the 25-man roster.
Grilli allowed runs in two of his final 13 appearances for the Blue Jays.
