Open Extended ReactionsPHOENIX -- The Kansas City Royals acquired veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.
The Diamondbacks added right-hander Andrew Hoffmann, who has made three appearances for the Royals this season out of the bullpen.
Grichuk, 33, has played the past 1½ seasons for the D-backs, with the club using the right-handed hitter mostly against left-handed pitching.
Grichuk was pulled from the game in the fifth inning and could be seen hugging teammates in the dugout.
Earlier in the day, the Royals placed rookie first baseman and outfielder Jac Caglianone on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring strain.
