OAKLAND -- The Astros have landed veteran left-handed pitcher Oliver Perez in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Astros are sending Tri-City left-handed pitcher Junior Garcia, 19, to Arizona in the deal. Perez, a 33-year-old who would give the Astros some bullpen depth, will report on Sunday. Samuel Deduno, who underwent hip surgery on Friday, was transferred to the 60-day DL. Tony Sipp is currently the only lefty in the bullpen.
