The Arizona Diamondbacks added another arm to their bullpen Friday, acquiring left-handed pitcher Mike Zagurski from the Philadelphia Phillies.
In a corresponding move the D-backs designated Esmerling Vasquez for assignment.
The 28-year-old Zagurski has posted a 5.40 ERA with three walks and four strikeouts in four games with the Phillies, but went 4-0 with 11 saves and a 2.65 ERA in Triple-A.
Over parts of three Major League seasons with the Phillies he is 1-0 with a 6.82 ERA in 31.2 innings pitched.
