The Houston Astros have finalized a trade sending infielder Grae Kessinger to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Matthew Linskey.
Kessinger, who faced challenges at the plate with a 0-for-21 record in 2024, was designated for assignment to accommodate Christian Walker. Linskey, known for his potential in the minor leagues, is expected to add depth to the Astros’ pitching prospects.
This trade not only aims to enhance the Diamondbacks’ infield capabilities but also reflects the Astros’ strategy to refine their pitching lineup.
