MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-handed pitcher Grant Anderson from the Texas Rangers for minor league left-hander Mason Molina on Thursday.

The trade followed the Rangers' decision to designate Anderson for assignment Monday.

Anderson, 27, went 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA and one save in 23 relief appearances for Texas last season. He struck out 29, walked 10 and allowed 11 homers in 26 innings.

While pitching for Triple-A Round Rock last season, Anderson was 3-0 with a 2.93 ERA and one save in 26 appearances.

That followed a 2023 season in which he was 2-1 with a 5.05 ERA in 26 relief outings for Texas.

Molina, 21, was a seventh-round pick out of Arkansas in the 2024 amateur draft. He made two starts for Class A Carolina last season and struck out six over five shutout innings. Molina also made two postseason appearances last year -- one for Carolina and one for Class A Wisconsin.

To make room for Anderson on their 40-man roster, the Brewers designated left-handed pitcher Tyler Jay for assignment. Jay, 30, went 0-0 with a 4.70 ERA last season in five combined appearances with the Brewers and New York Mets.
