Braves trade Jenkins, Feigl to Rangers for Luke Jackson

The Atlanta Braves traded right-hander Tyrell Jenkins and left-handed relief prospect Brady Feigl to the Texas Rangers in exchange for right-hander Luke Jackson on Thursday.

Jackson was the No. 16 prospect in the Rangers' system. The 2010 first-rounder made eight appearances with Texas last season out of the bullpen, allowing 14 runs (four home runs) in 11 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old has battled control issues throughout his career, but does own a fastball that sits in the mid-to-high 90s.

Jenkins posted a 5.88 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 14 appearances (eight starts) for the Braves last season. The 24-year-old former first-round pick fared much better with Triple-A Gwinnett, going 3-4 with a 3.97 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 45 1/3 innings.

Feigl underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2015 and tossed just six innings in rookie ball last season. The 24-year-old went undrafted out of college and owns a 2.74 ERA with 66 strikeouts in 72 1/3 innings over three minor-league seasons in the minors.
