July 17, 2025 10:53 PM : Dunning was traded from Texas to Atlanta in exchange for Jose Ruiz and cash Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dunning has spent the majority of his season at Triple-A Round Rock and has appeared exclusively in relief in his five big-league appearances. Atlanta's immediate plans for him are unclear, but the team has a significant need at starting pitcher with both Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) and Chris Sale (elbow) sidelined. Dunning posted a 5.02 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 71.2 innings as a starter in 2024.
