The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired third baseman Jace Peterson from the Oakland Athletics on Monday in exchange for minor league right-hander Chad Patrick.
Arizona will also receive cash considerations in the deal.
Peterson, 33, hit .221 with six homers and 28 RBIs in 92 games with the Athletics. He was in his first season with Oakland after spending the past three years with the Milwaukee Brewers.
A 10-year veteran who has played for six teams, Peterson is a career .230 hitter with 42 home runs, 235 RBIs and 73 stolen bases.
Patrick, 24, was 4-7 with a 4.71 ERA across 19 starts at Double-A Amarillo this season. The Diamondbacks selected Patrick in the fourth round (107th overall) of the 2021 draft.
It has already been an active trade deadline for Arizona, which traded infielder Josh Rojas, outfielder Dominic Canzone and minor league infielder Ryan Bliss to the Seattle Mariners earlier Monday for right-handed reliever Paul Sewald.
The Diamondbacks were 56-50 entering their Monday night game against the San Francisco Giants, four games back of the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.
