Astros trade INF Grae Kessinger to Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired infielder Grae Kessinger from the Houston Astros on Wednesday.

The Astros received minor league right-hander Matthew Linskey in exchange.

Kessinger, 27, batted .131 with one homer and one RBI in 48 games with Houston over the 2023-24 seasons.

Defensively, the 2019 second-round pick has played 14 games at third base, 12 at second, 10 at shortstop, six at first and even pitched an inning.

The Astros designated Kessinger for assignment on Dec. 23.

Linskey, 22, is 2-1 with a 2.75 ERA in 28 games (three starts) through his first two seasons in the minors. He has struck out 51 batters in 32 1/3 innings, but has not pitched above the High-A level.
