PHOENIX -- In a trade involving two injured players, the Arizona Diamondbacks sent Bronson Arroyo and last year's first-round draft pick Touki Toussaint to the Atlanta Braves for infielder Phil Gosselin.
The 38-year-old Arroyo has not pitched since undergoing Tommy John surgery last July 18. He signed with Arizona as a free agent before last season after eight years with the Cincinnati Reds.
Arroyo was in the second year of a two-year, $23.5 million contract with an $11 million club option and a $4.5 million buyout for 2016.
