Diamondbacks Acquire Jace Peterson From A's
1 year agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks acquired infielder Jace Peterson and cash considerations from the Oakland Athletics on Monday in exchange for right-hander Chad Patrick. Peterson will fill more of a utility bench role for the contending Diamondbacks down the stretch, so he won't have much fantasy appeal outside of deeper leagues the rest of the way. The 33-year-old left-handed-hitting veteran is batting .221/.313/.324 with only six home runs, 28 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 30 runs scored in 281 at-bats for Oakland in 2023. He's been better in July, though, and has a four-game hitting streak going in which he's gone 4-for-11 with an RBI and two runs scored in 13 trips to the plate. Peterson should probably only be rostered in very deep mixed leagues and now NL-only formats for his speed.
