The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired INF Eduardo Escobar from the Minnesota Twins for RHP Jhoan Durán, OF Ernie De La Trinidad and OF Gabriel Maciel. The D-backs also recalled INF Ildemaro Vargas from Triple-A Reno and placed INF Jake Lamb on the 10-day disabled list with a left shoulder contusion. To make room on the 40-man roster, Arizona designated INF Jack Reinheimer for assignment.
The 29-year-old Escobar is in the final year of his contract, so this appears to be a rental. He is a switch hitter, so this move does not necessarily indicate that Jake Lamb will be out of action for a lengthy period.
