PHOENIX (KCTV) - The Kansas City Royals acquired veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. The D-backs added right-hander Andrew Hoffmann, who has made three appearances for the Royals this season out of the bullpen. The 25-year-old was selected in the 12th round of the 2021 draft by the Braves.

Andrew Heaney and five relievers combined on a four-hitter, Oneil Cruz hit his team-leading 17th home run and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0 on Saturday night.

Garcia is a 25-year-old left-hand relief pitcher the Diamondbacks just acquired from the Seattle Mariners as part of a trade that sent Josh Naylor to Seattle. Arizona also acquired right-hand starter Ashton Izzi in the deal, but he is in High-A Hillsboro to start his Diamondbacks career.

NYC Council Minority Leader Joann Ariola’s nephew Joe was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Major League Baseball Draft last week — and the longtime Mets fan is already switching her allegiances.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will be playing the Athletics at their temporary home, a minor league ballpark in Sacramento, to kick off August. Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll will return to the site of his MLB call-up and the club will be in for a unique overall experience.
