Rangers get Kip Wells from Pirates

Wells has appeared in just seven games this season after undergoing surgery in March to repair a blocked artery in his pitching arm.

He picked up his first win in almost 10 months Friday, throwing seven innings of shutout baseball against the Giants, allowing just five hits and three walks.

Despite the surgery — and his 1-5 record with a 6.69 ERA — Wells had been targeted by several teams as the deadline approached. Both the Red Sox and the Mets had reportedly expressed an interest.
