The Arizona Diamondbacks announced today they have acquired left-handed pitcher Mike Zagurski from the Philadelphia Phillies and designated right-handed pitcher Esmerling Vasquez for assignment, according to Kevin Towers.
— Zagurski, 28, posted a 5.40 ERA (2 ER in 3.1 IP) and .286 opponents average (4-for-14) with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts in 4 games with the Phillies this season. He also went 4-0 with 11 saves, a 2.65 ERA (16 ER in 54.1 IP) and .226 opponents average (43-for-190) with 27 walks and 63 strikeouts in 46 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
